Of course you can tell grum which runlevel you want. You just stick the runlevel NUMBER (not name) on the end of the kernel line. Copied from my grub.conf: title Gentoo Linux - Current Kernel - Single User root (hd0,1) kernel (hd0,0)/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 1 > My personal preference is for something like: > > # cp -r /etc/runlevels/default /etc/runlevels/gui > # rc-update del xdm default > # rc-update add xdm gui Looks right to me as far as it goes. Also edit your /etc/inittab and replace the line: l5:5:wait:/sbin/rc default with l5:5:wait:/sbin/rc gui if you want run level 5 to be the gui. I've selected run level 5 since, from memory, 5 is what Mandrake and the like use for the gui run level. > This will cause your box to boot into CLI mode & a command propmt.

Again, edit /etc/inittab as appropriate and you can use grub to select a runlevel. > Sorry I can't be more helpful, but I hope this clarifies the previous > responses for you, HTH HAND. -- Mark Gordon Paid to be a Geek & a Senior Software Developer Although my email address says spamtrap, it is real and I read it. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
