Make up your mind - do you want to reboot or not? ([1] and [2]). :)) Dont get confused by runlevels - they simply stand for a unique set of running services. So even if you are in single user mode, if you manually startall the services that need to be up in runlevel 3, you are practically in runlevel 3 - you dont need to use telinit or init to switch runlevels. So because the computer has already booted using a kernel, and all you want to do is to run additional services, why and how can you suddenly change the operating system that you yourself need for performing all these functions. - Sandip -- Sandip Bhattacharya * Puroga Technologies * [EMAIL PROTECTED] Work: http://www.puroga.com * Home/Blog: http://www.sandipb.net/blog PGP/GPG Signature: 51A4 6C57 4BC6 8C82 6A65 AE78 B1A1 2280 A129 0FF3 _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
