mac desktop to many items

Inadvertantly dragged a CD full of images ontothe desktop of a G3 powerbook.

Desktop now has 1000's of jpgs on it, on loading this is slowing the system to a crawl and making the machine unusable (spinning colored disk all the time)

So how can I move these files from the desktop without having the machine boot up normally ?

On a PC I could boot to command mode and manually remove the desktop entries, is the same possible with Mac?

Thanks for any advice

Start up in Single-User Mode (easily found with a Google search), then use standard Linux commands (rm, mv, etc.) to move/remove the files from ~/[yourusername]/Desktop.
