How To: booting in X not in console mode

[smitteho@aim.com]

I have decided to add this here because i had trouble with it.

Well first. After loggin into console mode type in telinit 4 and it should bring you to a interface mode. then login, After you have done this open a terminal and type "mcedit /etc/inittab" with out quotations
then you look for a line saying "id:3:initdefault:" change the 3 to a 4 and it should always boot into X

Now it should look something like this

# These are the default runlevels in Slackware:
#   0 = halt
#   1 = single user mode
#   2 = unused (but configured the same as runlevel 3)
#   3 = multiuser mode (default Slackware runlevel)
#   4 = X11 with KDM/GDM/XDM (session managers)
#   5 = unused (but configured the same as runlevel 3)
#   6 = reboot

# Default runlevel. (Do not set to 0 or 6)
id:4:initdefault:

Please take notice to

(Do not set to 0 or 6)

if you do set to 0 or 6 slackware wont run..

Thats all.. I hope it helps
