Ubuntu 9.10 runlevel 3

With upstart and grub2 in Ubuntu 9.10, the way to configure the default runlevel has drastically changed. I'm just writing a quick blog post so I don't forget:

1) Edit /etc/default/grub and make GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT look like:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text"

2) Run "sudo update-grub"

3) Edit /etc/inittab, and make it look like:

id:3:initdefault

That should be enough to force Ubuntu 9.10 to boot into runlevel 3
