booting into graphical login


Sorry if this question is worded wrong. I talked my buddy into installing Drake 10.0. I promised him it was easy and it was! Although now when he reboots he enters runlevel 3. I edited inittab and entered runlevel 5 as the default, rebooted and still only get command line login. I #innit 5 and get full graphical. So any pointers. All help appreciated.Thanks i advance.

If Mandrake use boot manager Grub, you can try to add "5" to the end of your kernel parameters


This is taken from my Fedora

Code:
title Fedora Core (2.6.10-1.760_FC3)
        root (hd0,1)
        kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10-1.760_FC3 ro root=LABEL=/ 5
        initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.10-1.760_FC3.img
