You have a display manager installed - probably xdm or gdm. You could
just remove that package if you don't want to use it. Alternatively,
look in the /etc/rc2.d directory where you'll find an S99gdm (etc.)
link; move that to s99gdm (lower-case s) to cause the display manager
not to be automatically started at boot-time.
