For this, change 3 to 5 on the first line after the comments in inittab; id:5:initdefault: If you want an xconsole on the login screen, or don't want the clock or the halt and reboot buttons, edit /etc/X11/xdm/archlinux/Xsetup Enjoy :) PS: If you ever have trouble with Arch booting into X, and therefore wish it wouldn't boot to runlevel 5, all you have to do is pass 3 as a perameter to the kernel. This is quite simple to do with both lilo and grub. EOF } post_upgrade() { post_install $1 } pre_remove() { /bin/true } op=$1 shift $op $*
