Thanks... yes /etc/rc.conf was the culprit What I see about softlevel, |
| 9 |
using google ,it appears to be more involved than what I need. It |
| 10 |
must be a tool in a larger package since eix doesn't know about it on |
| 11 |
up to date portage, but I see mention of it with google. |

It's been my practice for many years to boot into text mode since |
| 17 |
more often than not, what I need to do can be done comfortably there. |

So I've always choosen to use startx as needed. |

That will now be possible since I can now control what happens with |
| 21 |
~/.xinitrc. Another old practice I've clung to. |
