Howto: Change Graphical Login To Text or reverse in Fedora

Two way to do it:
The easy way is temp way which uses + +,-- to do change.

Two way is edit inittab configure file in /etc directory.
step1: vi /etc/inittab
step2: find the line: id:5:initdefault:
about fedora work mode, next mode value can be chosen:
# Default runlevel. The runlevels used by RHS are:
# 0 - halt (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
# 1 - Single user mode
# 2 - Multiuser, without NFS (The same as 3, if you do not have networking)
# 3 - Full multiuser mode
# 4 - unused
# 5 - X11
# 6 - reboot (Do NOT set initdefault to this)

so, 5 means x-windows(X11) mode, and 3 means text mode(but it is multiuser mode);
