How to boot to runlevel 5 after hdd install.

[rniles]

I've installed 3.7 to hdd but I can't get system to boot to runlevel 5.
It seems to be stuck at level 2.
I've edited /etc/inittab and lilo.conf but the changes don't make any difference.
Is there some other config file?

This happen to someone installing knoppix from Command line (cheat: knoppix 2).
The only ways I know is to reinstall knoppix from within KDE.

Check /etc/lilo.conf; if there is a "2" in the 'append=' line, that is how Knoppix is calling for runlevel 2. remove it & rerun lilo.
Otherwise, check /etc/inittab look for the line "id:2:initdefault:". Change the 2 to a 5 should fix.

Try add symlink to xsession in your rc5.d. xsession is located in /etc/init.d.

Thanks for the suggestions.
It turns out that my changes to lilo didn't go into effect because I forgot to rerun the lilo command
after making the changes. I've been using grub for about two years and forgot that step with lilo.
