changing default runlevel dynamically

[Micha Feigin]

How can I choose the runlevel dynamically at startup through lilo menus
or otherwise?
I want to make a custom runlevel for powersave and such.

thanx

At the LILO Prompt (after press SHIFT at the LILO XX.YY.ZZ prompt) you
can append kernel parameters. If your bootimage lilo label is called
Linux you can type:

Linux 4

for runlevel 4.

So long

You can also use

telinit X

to switch to runlevel X at any time after the system is running.
