It is a text file that you can edit using vi or whatever you want to use. Look for the lines: # Default runlevel. The runlevels used by RHS are: # 0 - halt (Do NOT set initdefault to this) # 1 - Single user mode # 2 - Multiuser, without NFS (The same as 3, if you do not have networking) # 3 - Full multiuser mode # 4 - unused # 5 - X11 # 6 - reboot (Do NOT set initdefault to this) # id:5:initdefault: ^ this is what determins the runlevel your box will start in. If you have a 3 where the 5 is in this line, then change it to a 5 and reboot your box. It should start up in GUI mode then. ta, gb
