    Kali 2.0 How Can I Boot Into CLI Instead of XFCE?

    Hey, I am running Kali 2.0 with XFCE4 as my Desktop Evnrionment. I want to boot into the CLI instead of XFCE starting automatically. I also would like to not start NetworkManager automatically so I can run a bash script to take care of a few tasks. I have some basic understanding on how I might be able to do this I just wanted confirmation before I did it so I don't mess up my file system or anything. I went to Applications Menu > Settings > Session and Startup and I see 'Network', when I hover over this it's description is 'Command:nm-applet'. I also see two applications related to XFCE(XFCE Volume Daemon, & Xfsettingsd ) so I'm not sure how to go about this, can anyone share some tips? Thanks

    To disable XFCE login screen:
    Code:
    systemctl set-default multi-user.target
    To disable NetworkManager:
    Code:
    systemctl disable NetworkManager

    ...then reboot.
