inittab

[Dave Andruczyk]

inittab can only be written to by root,  so you have to login as root or "su"
to root before editting that file.

you could test it without editting the file by running "telinit 5" which will
switch you to runlevel 5 immediately. (also run by root).  Though on next
reboot it'll bootup in whatever runlevel you have defined in /etc/inittab.
