An informant told me to check out the /etc/inittab file.  the default
should be on 3 or 5.  it was on 2.

 $ head /etc/inittab

# /etc/inittab: init(8) configuration.
# $Id: inittab,v 1.91 2002/01/25 13:35:21 miquels Exp $

# The default runlevel.
id:2:initdefault:

# Boot-time system configuration/initialization script.
# This is run first except when booting in emergency (-b) mode.
si::sysinit:/etc/init.d/rcS

unfortunaely changing the default runlevel to 3 didn't do anything.

any idears?
