Uninstall desktop

[Intruder]

Hi guys im running 8.04 server and installed ubuntu desktop I have no need for this now and its a waste of resources is there a way to uninstall this?

[EDIT] or even disable it at boot and boot to console, done this before but for the life in me cant remember how

http://www.psychocats.net --> tutorials "pure KDE" --> there you'll get the command to remove all gnome packages as added by "ubuntu-desktop"

sudo chmod 644 /etc/init.d/gdm

This will disable execution of the Gnome desktop manager
you can now only boot into the terminal

sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/gdm
to re-enable GUI
