	And for what it's worth, you can change the runlevel (whether it's 
always in X-Windows or shows console logins, etc.) on the fly with the 
command "telinit #" where # is, as below, 3 for console or 5 for 
X-Windows.  This command should be run as root with nothing else going on, 
as it tends to close everything and revert to an appropriate login screen.
