Yes, I suspect that reboot is actually doing an 'init 6' which in
System V means reboot. (runlevel 0 ==> halt; runlevel 6 ==> reboot) As
I recall Slackware changes all this to be more bsd-like. So you can
either read the docs with 2.6.0 to see how to get the bsd behavior, or
move X to another runlevel, I have it on 5.
