For the benefit of a perennial Newbie, I would welcome more details.

Specifically, given that runlevel 2 can be configured to automatically
load the console:

a) at what point do you issue the "init 3" command and when does it
   get implemented;

b) is there any benefit in using "telinit 3" rather than "init 3"; and

c) how do these routines differ from using "startx" after booting
   into the console?
