Re: Help

Hi Sir,

Thanks for your reply, but I need to change from GUI
to Textmode then what to do?  What I need is something
like; in Windows, when we go to command prompt,
initially it shows in a window.  When we press
Alt+Enter we get original dos screen.  At prompt
whenever you type 'exit' you can again enjoy GUI.

I am searching for the same kind of facility in RedHat
Linux 7.0.

Thanking You,

Ritesh.




I have installed RedHat Linux 7.0 on my pc with Intel
810E Chipset. My default desktop is GNU. Its really
good to see GUI based linux. But, what if I want to
enjoy the oldies of UNIX ( i.e. text mode screen with
80 columns and 25 rows) like DOS screen.

Please, tell me, what key combination or option I
should press to get to this mode and again get back to
GUI mode.



If you want to have the text console as the default,
then as root edit/etc/inittab and change the default
run level to 3.Change the line with initdefault in it
to contain a 3:id:3:initdefaultNow when you reboot you
will get a text console. You can then start X when
youneed to typing startx.
