Debian Linux Autostart Questions

I'm setting up a Debian distro as a VMWare/VNC server. I installed KDE/KDM and vnc4server already and have those working fine, but when the computer starts it goes right into the KDE, rather than the command line.
1. How do I stop it from going straight to the KDE and rather just to a command line login?
2. How do I get vnc4server to autostart when the computer turns on?

But with a different number there. Change the number to 3.
2) Read up on Sys V Init. It'll be something to do with all your rc.<whatever> and stuff directories. I'm a slackware guy, which uses BSD init, so I can't tell you how to deal with Sys V init from memory.
As for the autostart, there's a command 'update-rc.d' that makes links to whatever script you want in the init.d directory in each rcx directory.
Thanks for that though, I was able to search for a proper solution with the id string you gave me. :^:
