I have the same machine you do. I have opted to stop xorg and enter tty1. Then, when the download is finished, I stop networking in order to make use of the least resources. I have a lightweight-desktop.scm configuration, so I probably have a minimum of services started also. These are the steps I take to stop those services I said before: sudo herd stop xorg-service sudo herd stop networking If I later want to restart them, I execute the same commands but replacing "stop" with "restart". I hope this helps complete compilation when needed. :-)
