[Techtalk] Red Hat 9 boot into command line

[Cynthia Kiser]

As with Debian, RH sets the run level in /etc/inittab. As you can see
in the example below, I boot my servers into run level 3 so they are
not wasting resources running X unless I need it for running the
Oracle Java installer.

# Default runlevel. The runlevels used by RHS are:     
#   0 - halt (Do NOT set initdefault to this)                               
#   1 - Single user mode 
#   2 - Multiuser, without NFS (The same as 3, if you do not have networking) 
#   3 - Full multiuser mode 
#   4 - unused       
#   5 - X11 
#   6 - reboot (Do NOT set initdefault to this)    
#
