OK, it's below my sig. I might mention that, as an experiment, I commented out
the last line. Mandrake then boots just to the console (that's good), but when
I run startx, X gets as far as the gray screen with the X cursor, and then it
crashes. None of the text on the console screen looks like errors, and the last
line is like "Waiting for X server to shut down."
I might add that, even with the last line commented out, during the boot
process I still see the line, "INIT: Switching to runlevel 5."

# Default runlevel. The runlevels used by RHS are:
# 0 - halt (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
# 1 - Single user mode
# 2 - Multiuser, without NFS (The same as 3, if you do not have networking)
# 3 - Full multiuser mode
# 4 - unused
# 5 - X11
