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 <tim@johnsons-web.com> Palmer, Alaska, USA
