More on why I didn't like grub until I got over the hideous learning curve. Raymond: To get to runlevel 3, when the grub menu comes up, move your selector to the kernel you are booting from and press the "e" key. You will then see 3 or so lines that are about that kernel boot process. Find the on that says kernel and move your selector to that one and press "e" Edit that line by adding a "3" at the end of it. (no quotes please). Optionally also add vga=ask to set your screen mode for text. Press <enter> Press "b" to boot the kernel description that is currently on the screen. If you press escape it goes away and your changes don't take. HTH someone. -- Gerry Skerbitz gsker at tcfreenet.org On Tue, 13 Jan 2004, Munir Nassar wrote: > On Tue, 13 Jan 2004, Raymond Norton wrote: > > > I am trying to help a friend out with a redhat 9 box.
