Geeks on call 1

[Brian Densmore]

Well, you're easiest solution is to unplug the box and parts and bring
it into a meeting. It will be working when you leave. Of course the next
is not until May Day (1st, not a pun here). You just missed your
opportunity the last one was the 16th. I'd be glad to help if I can. Not
sure what kind of timing issue there is there. I live North, really
North, Independence really isn't on the way home, but not too far out of
the way either.

Here are some tips

in the file /etc/inittab look for this line:
id:3:initdefault:

Change the 3 to a 5.
The next time you reboot it will go to level 5. Or at least try.

***DANGER WILL ROBINSON***
make sure you have configured X first. Otherwise you could be in for
lots of trouble, possibly even fry your monitor or video card. I have
yet to see it happen, but I see that warning all the time. More likely
you'll get some kind of garbled display, or infinite loop respawning. If
you haven't configured X.
