Subject: Re: Not starting X at boot
Date: Sat, 31 May 2003 15:16:42 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030531191641.GN29426@rednote.net> (raw)

I believe the canonical way is to edit /etc/inittab and change:

id:5:initdefault

so that it becomes ...

id:3:initdefault

Change the '5' to a '3', in other words.
