Plizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz dont "cross post".
Secondly you said, i dont know commands BUT you changed things which were
"default", huum, redhat donated a lot of thought to please people like
you, the things that are default are "normally" what people want, anyway,
to answer your question;
Try 'startx' first, if you get a GUI then all is well, logout and edit
/etc/inittab and change the following;
id:3:initdefault:
To
id:5:initdefault:
save file now type init 5 on the command line.
The next time your computer reboots you will get the GUI automaticly.
I do not understand the rest of your explanation, lilo has NOTING to do
with the runlevel UNLESS you typed the number 3 at the lilo prompt after
the name from the boot image at bootime
