Not quite. All *Red Hat based* Linux documentation states runlevel 5 is for multiuser. gdm doesn't just install to runlevel 2. In Debian, runlevels, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are identical by default on the assumption that the user will customize the runlevels to fit their needs. -- Paul Johnson Email and Instant Messenger (Jabber): [EMAIL PROTECTED] Got jabber? http://ursine.ca/Ursine:Jabber -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
