Choosing the InterfaceThe installation procedure for most Linux distributions provides the opportunity for you to select the software you want to install. In general, there's a default set of applications, or perhaps different sets of applications, that you can choose from. In addition, you probably have the opportunity to include or remove any applications from the set being installed.Chapter 9 tells you how to find files. To change your interface, you need to edit the following line in inittab (Chapter 18 discusses editing text files): id: n :initdefault: n is a number that causes Linux to boot in to the GUI or the CLI; 5 signals the GUI and 3 signals the CLI. Change n to the number for your preferred default interface. |
