That is, or course, not the same that to run in runlevel 5, though it *can* be depending on your configuration. Runlevel5 doesn't necessarily imply that. In Gentoo it is completely up to the user what services to run on a given runlevel. In fact, runlevels from 3 to 5 comes all labeled like "default", and they are equivalent, unless you effectively create a different label for runlevel 5, assign that in inittab, and add some services to that "new" runlevel. And here you are free to chose what to put into that runlevel. You can easily put kdm in runlevel 3 and, let's say, qingy in funlevel 5 if that makes you happy. -- Jesús Guerrero <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
