Installed GDM without installing Xorg
As said in the topic, I've gone and installed GDM without installing Xorg, and when I rebooted, it hangs just before the login screen. I'm assuming this is because it can't find Xorg, and so can't load.
Is there a way for me to disable GDM through the live cd? I'm not sure how to navigate into the actual hard drive through the cd, and, once there, have no clue where GDM is located. I assumed that I can't use systemctl disable gdm from within the live environment.
Thanks for your help.

Just change ttys after booting Ctrl+Shift+F# (F# being a function key like F2, or F3)
