Starting Fedora in text-only or graphical mode
August 9th, 2006
The secret to whether your Fedora machine goes into text-only mode or graphical mode on startup is held in the file /etc/inittab
If this file contains:
id:3:initdefault:
Fedora will boot into text-only mode.
If the file contains:
id:5:initdefault:
Fedora will boot into graphical mode.
