In the /etc/rc3.d/ directory (for run-level 3 for instance) rename 
the symbolic link to the service you don't want started from 
S90webmin (for instance) to K90webmin and that will ensure that when 
the machine switches to that runlevel, webmin will not be started and 
if it is running, it will be stopped. To switch it off manually once, 
just run '/etc/init.d/webmin stop'. This is using Webmin as an 
example but this holds true for all the services listed in 
/etc/init.d/.

PS. Did you get your X working? Did you try X over SSH from the other 
box?
