If you look at /etc/event.d/rcS you'll see the code that looks at /etc/inittab to pick up the runlevel. You'll also see that it fails to ignore lines starting with '#' :-). I got all my virtual machines at work to start in runlevel 3 perfectly fine, but I merely changed the 5 to a 3, I didn't comment out the one line and add a new one like you show in your example. You are probably under the mistaken impression that open source projects are intended to be tools people use to get work done - that's not it at all. It is really a large interactive adventure/puzzle game where the only inflexible rule is that if anyone ever figures out how to get useful work done, they have to change it completely right away :-). -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
