Re: Booting F9 without X
What is involved in booting f9 without X (ie with just console logins permitted)? Edit your /etc/inittab. Change the id/initdefault line, swapping the 5 for a 3 (runlevel 5 is boot to X, runlevel 3 is boot to text consoles). Save, reboot. -- Mike Burger http://www.bubbanfriends.org Visit the Dog Pound II BBS telnet://dogpound2.citadel.org or http://dogpound2.citadel.org To be notified of updates to the web site, visit: https://www.bubbanfriends.org/mailman/listinfo/site-update or send a blank email message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

Or, if you only want to do this once instead of making it the default (to recover from an X problem, for example): - When the grub display appears, hit a key to reveal the menu, select the desired kernel with up/down arrows, press A to append boot options, type a space and the number 3, press Enter. This will boot into runlevel 3 instead of the default of 5. -- Chris -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
