Hey...calm down. What you're saying did not work for me. Each time I told yast I wanted to use Run-Level 3, it kept defaulting back to init 5 eachtime I re-ran yast. I looked in the SuSEConfig file (called by yast) and found that it would default to run-level 5 each time, so I simply changed the number.....
The place to change it would /etc/inittab. Near the top you will see a line like:
# default runlevel id:5:initdefault:
Change the 5 to 3, and then you can type 'init 3' as root or reboot. Now I have seen yast change stuff I have modified back, so in /etc/rc.config there is a variable:
# Some people don't want SuSEconfig to modify the system. With this # entry you can disable SuSEconfig completely. # Please don't contact our support if you have trouble configuring your # system after having disabled SuSEconfig. (yes/no) # ENABLE_SUSECONFIG="no"
Notice the warnings. I am pretty comfortable modifying stuff myself.
Maybe you are. But that seems like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
For what is trying to be achieved (suseconfig clobbering inittab) it makes
much more sense just to set
CHECK_INITTAB="no"
which specifically addresses the issue being discussed, while leaving the
rest of the behaviour required by Yast, in place.
