That done I am back at the same impasse. It seems to me that I
should not have to jump through all these hoops just to
accomplish what has always been a simple configuration change. I
do not consider this an improvement.
The starting point, bringing /etc/inittab up in a text editor
produces:
# inittab is no longer used when using systemd.
#
# ADDING CONFIGURATION HERE WILL HAVE NO EFFECT ON YOUR SYSTEM.
#
# Ctrl-Alt-Delete is handled by
/etc/systemd/system/ctrl-alt-del.target
#
# systemd uses 'targets' instead of runlevels. By default, there
are two main targets:
#
# multi-user.target: analogous to runlevel 3
# graphical.target: analogous to runlevel 5
#
# To set a default target, run:
#
# ln -s /lib/systemd/system/<target name>.target
/etc/systemd/system/default.target
#
So I Think I have done what it says I should do:
[bobg@box6]$ ln -s /lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target
/etc/systemd/system/default.target
ln: failed to create symbolic link
`/etc/systemd/system/default.target': File exists
And this is where I got in trouble before. What must I do to fix
this?
You can first try to boot with systemd.unit=multi-user.target before making any permament change.
