if you press ctrl+alt+backspace in runlevel 5, you won't drop to cli, but instead will restart the X server. >changing to 'console' from X to cli is by pressing 'ctrl+alt+fn', where >'fn' is function keys f1 thru f6. The default is f1 - f6, yes, but you can add more if you want (or remove them) by looking at /etc/inittab, and adding or removing lines such as: 6:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty6 >changing 'consoles' from cli is by pressing 'alt+fn', where 'fn' is function >keys f1 thru f6, and f7 returns you to X, if previously open. else use 'startx'. > >have a look thru 'linux documents', /usr/share/doc/mandrake/en/index.html, >on your desktop. there you will find info for boot process and init files.
