    Paul:

            Have you tried the other multi-screens? Ctrl-Alt and the F1 to F6
    keys let you log in as character sessions. Ctrl-Alt-F7 takes you back to
    the X-windows screen. This should still work under VMware.

    Subject: temporarily disabling GUI login

    I've installed VMWare on a Win2K box at home, and Fedora Core 2 in a
    virtual machine. When trying to install VMWare tools into the Linux
    virtual machine, the install script fails because the tools config
    script must be run outside of an X window session.

    Doing a CTRL-ALT-backspace to shut down X windows just drops me back
    into another GUI window. I haven't been able to figure out how to
    temporarily disable a GUI login. I'm sure it's fairly easy, but can't
    figure out how to do it.

    Help?
