No, that is not what I asked about. The URL you have provided is for changing the run level in a system that is already operating, or for setting the run level for the subsequent boot of a system that is now operating. In contrast, my system is currently not operating and not operable; my question was how to assure that it will boot to level 3, although its default is level 5.
But thanks.
Type a 3 at the boot prompt and hit enter. And you can use Ctrl-Alt-F1 (or F2 or F3 or F5) to get to a text screen if at run level 5 and type init 3 for run level 3. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
