    Boot Knoppix, when you get to the prompt log in as root then enter:

    cd /etc
    mc

    Arrow down to the file named inittab. Hit the F4 key to open it. There should be a line that looks something like this:

    id:3:initdefault:

    Change the 3 (or whatever) to a 5.


    id:5:initdefault:

    HIt F2 to save the file, F10 to exit- reboot.
