    Just want to be sure. The instructions from nVidia are not real precise
    on the point of exiting X and/or booting to something other than
    runlevel 5.

    Is the a key stroke/combination to exit X in FC2? And, to set my default
    runlevel do I only need to edit my /etc/inittab lines:

         id:5:initdefault: (changing 5 to 3)
         x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon (changing 5 to 3)

    As I recall I can leave the runlevel at 3 and use 'startx' to Start X
    until which time I am satisfied with the driver installation?

    If there is something I am missing I would like to get it before I start
    on this installation. I remember when I used IBM OS/2 Warp and upgrading
    to faster video driver incorrectly could really do a number on a system.
