FC5 fresh install defaults to runlevel 3?

["Al Puzzuoli" <alpuzz gmail com>]

Hi all,

I just did a fresh install over telnet of the release version of FC5.

After the install completed, I immediately found myself at a text login 
prompt.  My initial reaction was that something had gone amiss; However, 
upon poking around, I discovered that the system was set to start at 
runlevel 3.  Also, my sound card had already been detected, and when I used 
startx to launch Gnome, I was never prompted to go through the firstboot 
process.

I was quite surprised indeed by this behavior because I installed test 3 
just a few weeks ago and after installation, it started in runlevel 5 and 
did in fact require the firstboot process.

What's the deal?  If this change was made to enhance accessibility, then I 
welcome it whole-heartedly as firstboot did used to be rather a pain; 
however, if something this drastic were in the works, I would have expected 
to see it implemented in one of the test versions as opposed to suddenly 
showing up in the release.

Does anyone know what's going on?

Thanks,
