wouldn't need fixing, as nothing would be broken:
if the graphical runlevel is used as the default then runlevel 5
automatically becomes equal to runlevel 3 when no display manager is
installed, no need to mess with inittab at all.
(actually the distinction between 'multi-user without network' and
'multi-user with network' is more interesting to me: booting a laptop
without netwerk easily saves whatever the netwerktimeout is on bootup when
your somewhere without working network, which by default is a minute I
think)

2. Plain-text mail recommended since I move html and double
format mails to a low priority folder (they're mainly spam)
