It instructs init about what processes to open. In /etc/inittab, each line
(other than comment lines) includes in its second fielf a set of numbers
that are the runlevels at which it should be executed. runlevel 5 is, on
many (not all - Slackware is different, for instance) Linux systems, the
level at which init is told to run xdm, the program used for booting
directly into the XFree86 GUI. To set it as the default, change the line in
/etc.inittab that now reads (probably) "id:3:initdefault:" to
"id:5:initdefault:".
