Thanks for the corrections. <br><br>Design question: why are runlevels 2-5 identical? Granted the "old way" was to have different levels to do different things. Upstart is a different init process but there is still a need to have differentiation between different running conditions (in my mind at least).<br>
<br>Hmm. or is it because the system is viewed as a single use system so it's either full on or in maintenance mode. If full on then only the stuff needed to run is installed. <br><br>F13 is using grub 0.97 so I have not had to make the big leap in grub versions. Not looking forward to it becoming more like the old lilo where changed had to be compiled in...<br>

</div>Runlevels 2-5 are identical by default in Ubuntu and Debian.<br>
<br>
Ubuntu uses GRUB2. The GRUB2 configuration in /boot is programatically<br>
generated. DO not edit it. Edit /etc/default/grub instead, then run<br>
update-grub.<br>
