Note that run level 2 is the default run level in debian. I never did understand why redhad wanted to start with 3... 1 = single user mode 2,3,4,5 = vendor/administrator defined run levels 6 = reboot As you can see, 2 is just as valid as 3 for run levels, so why not start with 2 and let administrators mess with a set of consecutive run levels instead of skipping around? By default, run level 3 should be identical to 2, ready for you to alter as you see fit, so there's no reason it should have acted differently than 2. I don't blame you for wanting to re-install. A segfault in the midst of an initial install would spook me too. Hope it goes well the next time around! -- Did you know that if you play a Windows 2000 cd backwards, you will hear the voice of Satan? That's nothing!
