Thanks for the article. I always wondered what a runlevel was, but never took the time to learn it. XD On chapter 7, when you’re linking the gdm script, you should actually be doing:

Right?

Don't forget that Slack also supports SystemV style init scripts, where different run levels do matter.

However, both 2 and 4 are available, and the "initdefault" runlevel can be changed to either of these. You say runlevel 4 is not used in Slackware; correctly, it is not used by default.

Informative with an intelligent humour... :) Best article Ive ever read in computer magazines. If you continue this series, Ill be able to write my own driver for my Ultra-SAS-SATA X without any help, when its finally available. :) drz Phantastic! Informative with an intelligent humour… :)
