Running updated forcal-fossa
I want to boot to console/text mode and later call startx if I want X.
Found the directions for doing that except its for 14.?? from the
handbook and made the modifications suggested there, in
/etc/default/grub. Then ran `update-grub'
/etc/default/grub
# If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update
# /boot/grub/grub.cfg.

# info -f grub -n 'Simple configuration'

GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden
GRUB_TIMEOUT=0

When I rebooted, I do get to see the boot messages but the boot ends
up at the greeter login screen in X so when I log in I'm in X when I
should be in console(text) Mode.
I want to end up in console mode with a text login and no X.
What else do I need to do for that to happen?
