Is this possible: select run level when booting?
Hello. For some special reasons I would like to configure a Linux box to allow user to select run level (3 or 5) BEFORE they boot the computer. That is, user is asked if they would like to go to run-level 3 or 5 in GRUB or LILO. How do I do this, if this is possible at all? -- 锐业软服(国内业务) http://www.realss.cn Real SoftService http://www.realss.com 销售咨询(Sales Department): 0086 592 20 99987 (Chinese, German, English) 国际业务(International Sales): 0086 10 8460 6011 (German and English) 联系:厦门大学科技园,嘉庚二号楼6楼 邮政:厦门大学2312号信箱(邮编361005)

Yes, when you get to the boot screen, just type in init 3 or 5.

Just type the number. The init is not necessary. -- Steve Boddy

Just type the number. The init is not necessary. This is true. Another way is to create separate entries in the GRUB menu.lst or
