Runlevel for textmode
Hi ; I want to start in textmode. In /etc/inittab I commented out the following line id:2:initdefault: as follows: # id:2:initdefault: and added the following: id:3:initdefault: but etch continues to boot up to an X login. What runlevel number is needed? Is there other code to change as well? In slackware 10.0, runlevel 3 is textmode. thanks tim -- Tim Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Palmer, Alaska, USA -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

In Debian, runlevels 2 to 5 are identical. The onus is on the administrator to decide which services run in which levels, by manipulating the links in the directories /etc/rc[2-5].d. What runlevel number is needed? Is there other code to change as well? In slackware 10.0, runlevel 3 is textmode. Yes, and in Redhat and derivatives that is also the case. However, they differ on what is graphical mode. -- Liam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
