| After installing X-windows and ctwm (Woody 3.0v3), I now get a graphical
login prompt instead of the text prompt, which I prefer (I would rather
start an X-windows session with startx, not automatically at login). Any
pointers on reconfiguring so I can get the text prompt back as my
default? I'm switching from SuSE to Debian amd not familiar with
Debian's configuration yet. Thx.

Remove the start link that causes xdm to be loaded.
rm /etc/rc2.d/S99xdm
should work. If your login manager is kdm or gdm, remove S99kdm/S99gdm.
You can shut down the program immediately by running
/etc/init.d/xdm stop.
best regards

update-rc.d -f gdm remove
^^^
or xdm, kdm
alternative:
# apt-get install rcconf
It is a TUI frontend to the update-rc.d command
