How do I make grub boot into console? (kde default) [solved]

Hi, Right now my rc.conf is setup to boot KDE on startup, everything is fine. However sometimes it seems like programs compile faster when I'm not in X (or is it in my head?)

I'd like to know how I can add an option to my GRUB loader to choose the exact same boot I have now except without going into KDE, straight to console instead.

Thanks,
Sean

Not an installation problem.

softlevels is the option I think you're looking for:

Thank you nixnut! That's what I needed! I was unaware that those Wiki How-TOs existed!
