Sorry for the lamer question but apparently things have changed since the days when putting default 3 in /etc/inittab would make the OS boot to text (console) mode.
I'm running a vmappliance of gentoo-2008.0 from June and attempting to bring it up to date. Its setup to run xfce on boot. Looking at the output of rc-update I saw xdm set for boot. Removed xdm from any runlevel and went to set inittab to default to runlevel 3 but find it already is and has been id:3:initdefault But still on a reboot it goes to xfce desktop. What have I overlooked?
