I know how to get to the /etc/inittab folder
however, once i'm in the /etc folder how do I open and edit inittab? I'm a
newbie obviously, so I don't know how to edit it and save it and close it.
What commands do I need to type out? I only have access to the console
prompt, not the GUI because of some error I'm having right now with the GUI.
thanks neil
Nielish,
If you wan't to get to a console prompt simply start an xterm from KDE
and then do an su command, when prompted fpr the root password give
that password and you will have command line control of the system as
root.
You may also wish to change your init runlevel in /etc/inittab to 3
rather than 5 this will give you a normal console login and when you
wish to run Xwindow you would use the command: startx.
Good Luck,
Dave
