Just a minor objection to the use of the word "only" in the above paragraph. Any init level (in this case 5 = graphical login) can be passed to the kernel at boot time (via the boot loader) and overrides the default init level in the /etc/inittab file. See my previous posts on this subject for the details of how this can be done using either the lilo or grub boot loaders.
