Smoothwall 0.98 text interface screen

**minhaz** · 10-19-2003

I have Smoothwall 0.98 installed on a redundant HP Vectra XA P1 PC with 96MB RAM.
It starts up fine but is always in text-login interface, ie. black console screen only.
Can anyone please tell me how to change it to GUI interface ?
Thank you.

in /etc/inittab. change the default init level to 5.

I can get into /etc directory and can see the file inittab.
How do I amend this file to set its dafault init level to 5 ?
Sorry - I am new in Linux.

Use a texeditor to edit the file, for example vi,pico,emacs.
