[gentoo-user] What's with the runlevels?

Hello,

Just wondering... This runlevel thing in Gentoo isn't really to my liking.

Anyways, the question is, how do I make xdm start in runlevel 5 and not
in runlevel 3? I can't even init 3 to exit the X server. I did

rc-update add xdm default

to start X automatically at boot.

I've read the runlevel guide and well.... Anyways, well, what's the
solution?

Thanks for your time

Yours Faithfully,
Mrugesh Karnik

Your /etc/inittab file probably has runlevels 3 & 5 mapped to default.
Create a new directory in /etc/runlevels named console. Do the rc-update to
install console-only services. Edit /etc/inittab to map runlevel 3 to
console.

Done.
