Hinarz,

open up inittab and find the section relating to # Default runlevel
it looks like this

Quote:

# Default runlevel. (Do not set to 0 or 6)
id:4:initdefault:

it's close to the top of the file, have fun!

This is covered in the SlackBook
here: http://www.slackbook.org/html/x-window-system-xdm.html

Take a browse through it there is a lot of valuable information in there

Also take a look at The "comprehensive directory" in my signature (Commonly known as the Slackware-Links Wiki) for a lot more info!

oh thank you so much to both, i have a printed out version of the slack book from a couple months ago somewhere around but i couldnt find it, be sure to read it as soon as it pops up.
