If you are running an X session that you started with "startx" then just killing the last process in the x session should kick you back to the console, but it depends on what's in your various X configuration files. If you're using [x|k|g|etc]dm usually there is a menu option to exit. Alternatively you can switch to a console and issue "/etc/init.d/[x|k|g|etc]dm stop" and then use "... start" to restart the session. > > Additionally I have no runlevel 5.

The other runlevels 3-5 usually match runlevel 2. They should all exist and should all be the same as 2. A
