Created table of available runlevels.
Personally, I think it is much readable than the simple list that was
used before. It is also easier to refer to it.

<title>Configuring the Default Runlevel</title>
<para>Before you can configure access to services, you must understand Linux runlevels. A runlevel is a state, or <firstterm>mode</firstterm>, that is defined by the services listed in the directory <filename>/etc/rc.d/rc<replaceable><x></replaceable>.d</filename>, where <replaceable><x></replaceable> is the number of the runlevel.</para>
<para>The following runlevels exist:</para>
- <itemizedlist>
- <listitem>
- <para>0 — Halt</para>
- </listitem>
- <listitem>
- <para>1 — Single-user mode</para>
- </listitem>
- <listitem>
- <para>2 — Not used (user-definable)</para>
- </listitem>
- <listitem>
- <para>3 — Full multi-user mode</para>
- </listitem>
- <listitem>
- <para>4 — Not used (user-definable)</para>
- </listitem>
- <listitem>
- <para>5 — Full multi-user mode (with an X-based login screen)</para>
- </listitem>
- <listitem>
- <para>6 — Reboot</para>
- </listitem>

<para>If you use a text login screen, you are operating in runlevel 3. If you use a graphical login screen, you are operating in runlevel 5.</para>
<para>The default runlevel can be changed by modifying the <filename>/etc/inittab</filename> file, which contains a line near the top of the file similar to the following:</para>
<screen>id:5:initdefault:</screen>
