I'm finding out that X can't be running when the installation is going on. Is
there an easier way (less hazardous way) to get out of X than edit the
starting run level? I'm not worried about working at the command line but am
worried that I can reliably edit the starting level back to 5. Is a run level
of 3 right for F15?
