It's a "feature". 3 is still the default setting, for historical reasons. The installer flips that to 5 for these (very common) install cases: - Interactive installs[1], - LiveCD installs, - kickstart installs with 'xconfig --startxonboot' You could argue that 5 should be the default, and the installer should flip it to 3 for those cases that require it, but... easiest to just leave it all as-is until we get around to replacing the entire thing with Upstart[2]. Anyway, feel free to delete inittab.rpmnew - you probably want to keep your system as-is. -w [1] Unless you disable all the packages that provide "service(graphical-login)", or use text mode or VNC [2] Or something else even newer and more confusing, just to further irritate the old-school types. -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
