This is partly a follow up on my earlier question about getting more terminals in runlevel 2.
Looking around the web, I found that I should be able to add at least a few virtual terminals by editing /etc/inittab and following the conventions therein. So, I did that in X at runlevel 5. After I had saved the changes, I ran "init 5" as root, but that doesn't seem to have introduced the changes into the system. If you change /etc/inittab how should you restart it to make the system adapt the changes?
