I would think not, though - the problem the poster was having was that as soon as exiting the single-user shell, the system would go to runlevel 2 - even if he exited using "init 0" or "init 6". Ctrl-alt-del (if set to reboot) would just do "init 6", I would expect. </blockquote> I believe I'm the OP and I don't recall stating that as my problem. I had asked how ones gets from the single-user shell that one gets when booting in recovery mode into "regular" mode. -- Pete Holsberg Columbus, NJ Patriotism is supporting your country at all times, and your government when it deserves it. --Mark Twain </body> </html>
