Most probably your computer is set to boot at run-level 5. First you need to know run levels,
Runlevel 0 and 6: halt and reboot the machine, respectively.
Runlevel 1: No services running, only root can login.
Runlevel 2: Users can login but no networking.
Runlevel 3: Networking and text-mode.
Runlevel 4: unused.
Runlevel 5: GUI.
So , you need run level 3 on boot. It can be done by modifying /etc/inittab
You should see something like following :
Change it to :Code:id:5:initdefault
Code:id:3:initdefault
Hmm.. it appears "code" blockquote is not working properly on eTI...
