It allows you to have a text terminal (F1 - F6) or a graphics terminal (F7 +) but it does not change the run levels. A run level change such as going from run level 3 to run level 5 has different processes running (most notably the X server, among others). 'telinit N' does change the run level to the specified because it actually looks at the differences in desired processes and makes the start/stop as needed to switch the run levels. > Tks > > B.R. > SL >
