First, thanks to all for the help. Phil, Gawd, I hope not. I make my living writing stories of 1,000 words or more ;-) Now, after reviewing my YaST setting, seems I already have runlevel 3 as the default. And it looks as if I oversimplified my description of the problem. When I boot up on runlevel 3, I go directly to the window manager for which I have an .xinitrc in /home/pspotts. Under two other distros I've tried over the years, I would go directly to a command prompt and have to log in manually and use startx. That would get the window manager going. That is what I hope to duplicate with the right tweak now. Even now @ runlevel3, when exit Fluxbox, I do not go back to a black screen with pspotts@?> , as I would on distros past. Instead, I get the graphical "select a window manager" screen. So I suspect some setting somewhere is mangled. Inittab does show the default runelvel as 3. Sorry not to have been more specific in the first place...it's been a long morning! Best, Pete -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peter N.
