GUI login prompt

Posted by: Anonymous Coward on July 10, 2003 04:49 PM
You are running at init level 3 which is multi-user non-gui. If you switch your run level to level 4 by typing at the command prompt: telinit 4. You would then be prompted with a GUI login to X instead of the console login prompt.

Not sure about RedHat, but in most GNU/Linux distros you can change the default run level by editing<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/etc/inittab with your favourite plain text editor.

man telinit for more information.
