<PRE>On 2012/06/03 17:46 (GMT+0100) Colin Guthrie composed:
>>><i> /etc/inittab is no longer used or read.
</I>
>>><i> For single user mode now-a-days we boot to rescue.target (this is done
</I>>>><i> automatically if you just put a 1 at the end of the kernel command line
</I>>>><i> to support "runlevel 1").
</I>
>><i> where do I change initial
</I>>><i> runlevel not for one boot but for a while? With inittab it was easy to
</I>>><i> change the default runlevel.
</I>
><i> The tools in drak* still let you configure this, so that's the "easy" way.
</I>
Not when X is broken.
><i> For real men (and women), we just change the
</I>><i> /etc/systemd/system/default.target symlink to point at whatever target
</I>><i> we want to use by default.
</I>
So instead of changing one character in a file that has been standard for
decades, one must figure out the name of the desired target file, then type a
lot so as to get the required symlink.
><i> For ad-hoc changes you can pass systemd.unit=foo.target on the kernel
</I>><i> command line
</I>
Ditto.
><i> or just append a runlevel number or the words "single" or
</I>><i> "failsafe" as before.
</I>
Thank God everything that used to make good sense hasn't been replaced by
something more complicated. I've taken to including a digit on every Grub
kernel line quite some time ago.
