I just ran yum update (I always use yum or smart in text mode) to update rawhide. /etc/inittab is set to level 3 as default. Upon reboot, to my amusement, it booted into runlevel 5. I said to myself, "Self, it probably did something to /etc/inittab." However, inittab was still set to runlevel 3. I figured that maybe there was some other obvious place where it was starting gdm, but I haven't been able to find it. In the end, I fixed it by adding 3 to the end of the kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.list. Is this a bug or a new feature? What made it worse was that there was no option to choose a session. I use fluxbox and this left me with nothing but Gnome. <brief meaningless rant> Why, if Fedora is a testbed for RedHat, which is primarily aimed at the enterprise and, I would assume, primarily a server, tie itself so heavily to Gnome? How many sysadmins want a box booting into Gnome? </brief meaningless rant> That's actually a serious question, but this list isn't the place for it, ergo, the rant tag. :) (Although I assume there is a logical answer, and if someone knows it and wants to share, please do.) Anyway, if this is going to be a new feature, ignoring an inittab that would almost be certainly already be deliberately edited by the user, as a default installation sets it to 5, I hope it is going to be documented. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Giles: It's a trick.
