Yep, you change the default runlevel in initab.

I think you need to change it to 3 in inittab, there should be comments, SuSE
7.1 has :
# /etc/init.d/rc takes care of runlevel handling
#
# runlevel 0 is System halt (Do never use this for initdefault)
# runlevel 1 is Single user mode
# runlevel 2 is Local multiuser without remote network (e.g. NFS)
# runlevel 3 is Full multiuser with network
# runlevel 4 is Not used
# runlevel 5 is Full multiuser with network and xdm
# runlevel 6 is System reboot (Do never use this for initdefault)
Because they standardised the run level's to those specified in LSB 0.3.
In SuSE 7.0 I think you want :
# default runlevel
id:3:initdefault:
instead of :
id:1:initdefault:

PS. BTW With threading Email client, when you 'reply' it keeps the message
in the old thread, so it's better to start a new one, by copying the To:
address. Your message was buried in the 'Nottingham Meet' threads.
