It is more important to explain what it means to the user. ---- <p><b><big>Selecting the Default Runlevel</big</b></p> <p>The runlevel is the setting that helps determine which services are available by default. Select the level that includes the services this system should allow when the system starts.</p> <p>Runlevel <b>2</b> allows multiple users to log in to the system locally, but no network or network services are available. This setting is rarely used as the default.</p> <p>Runlevel <b>3</b> allows both local and remote logins and enables the network and any configured network services. This setting does not start the graphical login manager, so graphical user interfaces cannot be used immediately.</p> <p>Runlevel <b>5</b> is the most common default runlevel for workstations. In addition to the network, it starts the X display manager, which allows graphical logins. It also starts any other configured services.</p> <p>If you are not sure what to select, runlevel <b>5</b> is generally a good choice for workstations. Runlevel <b>3</b> is often used on servers that do not have a monitor and should not use graphical interfaces.</p> ---- How is this? It is a bit more newbie oriented, but I doubt that many geeks read the help here anyway. I'd like it checked by some sort of runlevel expert for technical accuracy. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

How is this?
Ways better :-) - Thanks!
It is a bit more newbie oriented, but I doubt that many geeks read the help here anyway.
Indeed. "Real" geeks choose runlevel 3 without reading the help text ;-)) Seriously: experienced linux users know what the runlevels mean and don't read the help text, so the remaining audience are mostly newbies.
I'd like it checked by some sort of runlevel expert for technical accuracy.
I'll let it to others to (not) qualify me as "some sort of runlevel expert" ;-) Well, I know enough about runlevels to say that the text looks correct. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
