ubuntu is still configured to boot X from runlevels 2-5, if he wanted to
boot it through a different runlevel then he will still have to remove
the sym link from the relevant /etc/rcX.d to gdm. ie for init 3

rm -f /etc/rc3.d/S13gdm

and add init 3 to the end of your kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst to
make it the default.
