The original command was outputting binary and therefore it was nonsensical to look at the first 4 lines. I&amp;#039;m not entirely satisfied with heading inittab, but at least we can say that &amp;quot;here is your default runlevel&amp;quot; and it will make some sense.&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
