[plug] init levels

[Paul Dean]

Hya Craig,

Could I make a suggestion to edit your '/etc/inittab' so that you start on run
level 3 then type `startx` to run X. When you've finished with X or just
want to drop to 'console' you can logout of X or hit 'ctl-alt-F(1-4)' to
get a console screen. You can also run a 'term' window in X , it's
exactly the same as a console, except for some variables.


Hope this Helps...
