If I want to boot into single user from a cold start, I do it via GRUB. But if I am in a GUI and I want to actually change (rather than just bring up a tty) I use "init 1". I don't think that "init s" would work - but you are probably about to tell me that it would. ;-) Lisi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
