This is where I always went in to kill it in RH stuff. I would get
handed a machine
at work that would boot to a GUI and the first thing I do is go make
it boot to a
cmd line. SuSA hides it elsewhere.

In RH it is a level 5 respawn that I always commented out. I do recall that was
somewhere else on SuSA.
If I can just figure out where it is and comment it out. I like to log
in at the cmd
line and then do a startx if I need the gui.
