There is another solution in Linuxconf to achieve that. Instead of changing the default runlevel (in /etc/inittab), the /sbin/askrunlevel utility brings a menu at boot time and let you do various things, before the default runlevel is started. From there, you can select either graphic mode (runlevel 5), text mode (runlevel 3) or maintenance mode. To use this, you must install a linuxconf package from ftp.solucorp.qc.ca/pub/linuxconf/devel/redhat-5.2 as RedHat are not delivering this facility in there linuxconf RPM. > Setting the default runlevel is as easy as modifying an entry in > > /etc/inittab so why not implement this in linuxconf? > > There is also the possibility of including the file /etc/inittab under > > the list under: > > [Control files and systems] -> [Configure all configuration files] > > I was not able to find /etc/inittab there. The list is built out ot the file managed by linuxconf and /etc/inittab is not managed. With the mgettyconf module, linuxconf is managing part of this file though. There is no point in adding the file there. I mean, the file appears there as a side effect that it is managed by linuxconf, which is not the case. A module to manage inittab for other feature anyway. Give a try to askrunlevel and it will probably solve your problem. --------------------------------------------------------- Jacques Gelinas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Check out Linuxconf at http://www.solucorp.qc.ca/linuxconf New modules: mgettyconf, managerpm --- You are currently subscribed to linuxconf as: [[email protected]] To unsubscribe, forward this message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
