That turns off almost everything, whereas gentoo=nox does a normal
startup of everything but xdm. Single mode has its uses but it's a bit
of a sledgehammer for this particular nut.
Each of my machines has a no-x run level, which omits services such as X,
dbus and hal but does start gpm, network services and (except on the
laptops) numlock. Saves me quite a bit of typing.
Do you do this thru grub.conf then?
Modification of the kernel line?
In fact, whatever way you do it, can you give somekind of example?
Most likely he just creates a runlevel and then add the things he needs
to that runlevel. I did this once in the past and all I did was create
a directory in /etc/runlevels and then use rc-update to add things to
the runlevel. I don't think you have to have a "special" tool to add
the runlevel.
Once created, just add softlevel="name of runlevel here> to the end of
the boot line in grub. It should boot to that runlevel. Oh, no spaces
between that either. It should be all as one word.
That help any?
