booting into X


I just installed FC2 yesterday and didn't disable the setting that boots the OS into XWindows. I want to boot to a 'login' screen and launch X manually.

How do I do this? What config file do I edit?

Thanks in advance,
wildpitch

edit /etc/inittab

Look for the initdefault entry... change 5 to 3. This ensures that your system will boot to runlevel 3 - text mode.
