hi all, thanks for the replies. sorry but i'm still battling. in inittab i have this: # The default runlevel. id:2:initdefault: now i would have thought to, that if you change it to id:3:initdefault then all is well however Runlevels 2-5 are multi-user (as per inittab) so if 2 boots straight into X then how will 3 make it boot to "what i thought was init 3" ie not X. > > > -- > +------------------------------------------------------------+ > | Ron Johnson, Jr. Home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | > | Jefferson, LA USA http://ronandheather.dhs.org | > | | > !
