But Phil talked about depending on how you *installed*. If you installed using text mode, FC has 3 as the default runlevel. If you installed graphically, 5 is the default runlevel. Post install, you'd have to change it, yourself. -- (This box runs FC6, my others run FC4 & FC5, in case that's important to the thread.)
