Changing your default log in is done in /etc/inittab. To change
from the text log in to graphical, you would change the line:
id:3:initdefault
to
id:5:initdefault
Since I don't trust my memory, I went back to the newbie archives
to get the info. You will also find references on how to move from
LILO to GRUB and back again. Mandrake installed GRUB
automatically for me, and I have been happy with it. Since I'm
running only one OS, I haven't had a reason to fiddle with it.
Making changes is rather straight forward though. You simply
need to edit the menu.lst file. There are numerous examples
on how it should look.
Enjoy.
