Package: grub Version: 0.97-47lenny2 Severity: minor Hi,
in the GRUB menu there is the choice of two options for each installed kernel, one of them is the so called "single-user mode". I believe this lable is misleading, because it does not actually describe what will happen if I choose this option -- i.e. "single-user" is only half the truth, it doesn't tell there will be no X11, no cups, no network-manager, etc.
I am afraid that unexperienced users feel tempted to boot into "single-user mode", because that's what they believe is what they want. They only want to write some letter and check emails, no need for further users on the system.... You got the point?
To describe what hides behind this option something like "root console" comes to my mind (although this is still cryptic to the unexperienced user). In the grub2 packages the label has been changed to "recovery mode" which is at least better than "single-user mode" but still not perfect, because it also does not really describe what hides behind this option.
What do you think? Cheers, Fabian -- Dipl.-Phys.
