Redhat 7.2 upgrade sequence. part 1.

if stuck in graphical mode run level 5 ctrl alt F2
edit /etc/inittab
id:3:initdefault: replace 5 with 3 as shown. reboot.

install xig.5 make sure to rev IV with FP if flats (sw1600) used.
listed below is copy of working dual xig rev IV with flats.

X should start with gnome wm.

1. copy hosts file over
2. copy .cshrc and .rhosts rcp should work.
3. /usr/bin/python /usr/share/serviceconf/serviceconf.py
to manage services. should do this first.
