I didn't ask to change the default runlevel, thats just part of what I
ended up having to do to get what I wanted.

/etc/inittab doesn't exist in 8.04, so I didn't know if it still used
it, thats why I ended up modifying rc-default.

After going through this, I don't really understand the advantage of
having almost EVERYTHING running at the same runlevel.
I moved the following to runlevel 3 only by renaming those in rc.2 to
the following names.
K01mythtv-status
K02lirc
K15gdm
K20xinetd
K21nvidia-kernel
K30xserver-xorg-input-wacom

So, yes, I've got things straighted out now, but you're right, I'd
rather use /etc/inittab if it is still used in 8.04.
