change runlevel

[FXEF]

My box boots to KDE desktop. I think this is runlevel 5. How do I change to console mode (runlevel 3) on boot, then use starx to start KDE?
System
Debian / Knoppix 3.2 hd install
KDE 3.1.1

Look at section 10.5:
Debian Howto (http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-customizing.en.html)

I went to section 10.5 Debian Howto and looks like all I need to change is id=5 to id=3 in /etc/inittab. Do I need to do anything else?

Aside from rebooting, no :)

I opened etc/inittab but id=5 was not there, but did find this.

#The default runlevel
id :5 :initdefault

I changed it to read:
id :3 :initdefault

Shutdown and rebooted but it still boots into X and KDE.

All I want to do is login to a console and start X and KDE from the console.

This is a Knoppix install of Debian.

Do you run Knoppix directly off of the CD, or is it installed to your harddrive?

Knoppix is installed to my hard drive.

... and you was 'root' when editing the /etc/inittab file, and you made sure that your change was saved?
