su -
vi /etc/inittab
Look for a line like this: id:5:initdefault:

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)

4 - unused
5 - X11
6 - reboot (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
Change the 5 in the quote above to a 3. Save and reboot.
