<title>Defining run-levels
<author>Introduction
<sect>Purpose
<p>
<em/Linuxconf/ provide five predefined run-levels generally suitable
for workstation. Each run-level correspond to a combination of the
following features:
<itemize>
<item>Graphic mode, X-terminal or text mode.
<item>Network or stand-alone mode.
<item>One run-level as defined in /etc/inittab.
</itemize>
Some <em/Linux/ systems need more control. Some servers never run
X for example, but may support various configuration through
/etc/inittab. It is possible to reprogram the five definition
provide by <em/Linuxconf/. Each of the three topics above may
be controlled separately for each of the five run-levels. And you
are allowed to give a different name.
<sect>Future of the feature
<p>
It is expected to have a better integration of the capability of
/etc/inittab with <em/Linuxconf/. <em/Linuxconf/ run-levels will be
defined not in term of the basic /etc/inittab run-level, but
instead services per services.
