One of the instructions said I should edit /etc/inittab and change

X I got a command line asking me to enter a runlevel. I entered 4 and

boot process continued normally. Is there something I missed? I thought
booting into X would go strait to the X login screen.
Dick,
I assume you edited /etc/inittab as root.
Yes.
You can look at the file as a
user, too, and confirm that it shows initdefault as 4.
Typo. I usually use copy and past whenever I can, but this time I typed
everything. Almost. What I typed was:
id:4:initdefault
After putting in the trailing : it boots into X.
If you have applications that were originally installed on a 32-bit
system
and you have the source code you can try re-compiling them on the 64-bit
system. If you don't have the source then you'll need to install all of
AlienBOB's multilibs, including the compatability ones.
My problem is I don't know if any of the things I use are 32-bit. I'll
go ahead without multilib until I discover I need it.
Thanks.
