It's fired up, and by the way, I appreciate the time your taking with me on this.

d-1

What's next?

d-1

No sweat - just do the same for someone else someday

Anyways - lets get to the action...

Open the file initab

initab is as explained in the directory /etc

You might need to leave your /home directory (i.e.) go up a level or two till you find yourself at root level - They you should be able to see the directory /etc

Let me know if you have succeeded in opening the file

Just going to make me some tea... brb (2 minutes max!)

I have no idea as to how I find that tab,

d-1

I entered /etc/ in my home directory and got a million different icon windows that opened up below it, is that right?

d-1

Select Open File in Kwrite

I presume a box with filenames and directories open - Am I correct?

I think I opned up the inittab,

it's got a bunch of wording on it.

d-1

Try to copy it and paste it into this thread

Kwrite states this because I double clicked on the inittab;

This file describes how the INT process should set up the system in a certain run-level.

d-1

If the file is open then find the following line in your initab

id:5:initdefault:

Now Change id:5 to id:3

id:5:initdefault: <------- Change this line

After the change it should now look like this

id:3:initdefault:

Let me know if you have succeeded in opening the file and if you have located the line...

It should be placed just below a chunk of text looking like this:

Go to line 17 of your initab... if I counted correctly and you should find

id:5:initdefault:

Now Change the part that says id:5 to id:3

id:5:initdefault: <------- Change this line

After the change it should now look like this

id:3:initdefault:
