525415 2007-02-17 23:00:00 How do I change a text boot to a GUI boot in Suse 10.2. kjaada (253)
525416 2007-02-18 08:05:00 No doubt there is a setting to do this in the GUI - but this will work:

Open any text editor with root priviledges and edit the text file /etc/inittab. There will be a section like this:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
# Default runlevel. The runlevels used by RHS are:
# 0 - halt (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
# 1 - Single user mode
# 2 - Multiuser, without NFS (The same as 3, if you do not have networking)
# 3 - Full multiuser mode
# 4 - unused
# 5 - X11
# 6 - reboot (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
#
id:5:initdefault:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You last line will be id:3:initdefault:

Change the 3 to a 5 and save.
