A flexible way is from your bootloader >From lilo the prompt you can type:
linux 3 to initiate with runlevel 3 (default) linux 5 to initiate runlevel 5 (X) (I assume that an `append "3"' command to lilo.conf makes this permanent I'm sure you can do something similar in grub Martin Visser Network Consultant - Global Services COMPAQ, part of the new HP 3 Richardson Place North Ryde, Sydney NSW 2113, Australia Phone *: +61-2-9022-1670 Mobile *: +61-411-254-513 Fax 7: +61-2-9022-1800 E-mail * : martin.visserAThp.com -----Original Message----- From: dan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, 28 June 2002 3:05 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [SLUG] Run levels.... Hi, I am trying to work out how to configure my Linux box to boot up in console mode rather than load up X Windows (KDE). Is this something to do with the runlevels? If so then does anyone know how I permanently set this? Can anyone point me in the right direction?
