Hello,
I just made a brand-new installation of 7.3 and one of the first things I did after the install was open yast and set all my favorite 'rc' settings, one of this is DISPLAYMANAGER=console.
This question made me RTFS a little. It seems in 7.3 SuSEconfig doesn't touch the runlevel setting at all. Many thanks to whoever it was that removed it. Now it is possible to have user defined run levels again without having to set CHECK_INITTAB to no. Setting DISPLAYMANAGER=console has the same effect as setting it to DonaldDuck, in other words if you're in runlevel 5 you'll get the default display manager, which is xdm. The runlevel now is only set by YaST internally, by going to System Configuration -> Login and setting "graphical" or "Ascii". Unless you prefer to edit inittab manually, that is. Of course I may have misread the source, but it is verified by experience. regards Anders
