DLE;
There are several ways to go to single user mode.
#init s
#init S
#init 1
as the root user will bring a running system to the level. This does not
always work gracfully (depends on how well written the kill scripts are)
Another way is to reboot the computer and at the LILO prompt, type the
label of the kernel you want to load (press <TAB> to see the list) and
after that append a -s
LILO: linux -s
This is the normal label.
