Debian does not use RH run levels.. Debian only recognizes 0, 1, 2 and
6.  (3, 4, and 5 can be created and used by the user/adminstrator if so
desired, but have no special meaning by default.)

If you want to disable gdm, as another posted pointed out, append text
to your grub menu.lst boot line, *or* remove gdm from your rc2.d list.
(see the README file in /etc/rc2.d directory)

I suggest not mucking with initttab.  The entire concept of runlevels is
 slated to get the axe in Ubuntu, eventually.
