[Nobody's Hero]

Caesar,
In a previous post you said:
"Hello!

In grub press "e" on the wanted boot line
then go to line with the kernel (vmunixXXXXX)
and press "e" then write in the end of line
number of runlevel that you want (1-5)
press ENTER and then "b" for boot.
You will boot to the wanted runlevel.

* Runlevel is set of services that acrive.


Ok I feel dumb here. I am not sure what you mean. I ran grub and it drops me into a ">grub" prompt. I ran help inside here but I dont know what I am doing. Could you spell it out for me, I would really appreciate it. I am totally new at Linux and grub.

thanks,
Bob

Hi Bob,

To run at a desired runlevel, you can try another solution.

Boot normaly, edit the file /etc/inittab, search for the line:

id:3:initdefault

or something similar, the important thing is the word initdefault, change the number to the desired runlevel by default.

Reboot the computer or issue the command:

init n

where n is the desired runlevel.

HTH

Frank.

Hello Bob!

When you up the machine and enter to grub
you get menu (list of difrent boot in a half of cases only one choice like "linux")
In the regular boot you press ENTER and the
linux boot ...
So in the moment when you in the menu
you do what i wrote.

He this will explain if no ask.
