How does one go into "single user" mode? You would do that with the command telinit x as root, where x is the number of the run level to switch to. As for which run levels control what, I believe that is distribution-specific. In slackware, run level 1 is the single user run level, and 3 is the multiuser run level for running text consoles without running the x window system. > 2. What is telinit? The best answer I can give you is to read the telinit(8) manual page, which will tell you all you ever wanted to know. > and > 3. What is a run level? > Hmmm, well, this may not be the best answer, but a run level is a state in which the system can be. For example, such a state could be run in single user mode, allowing only one person to be logged in at a time, or this state could be multiuser mode, where multiple users can login. This is most likely not the best answer, but again, the init/telinit man pages might answer this better, or someone else here will provide a better answer then I have.
