I am neither hysterical nor insulting.
I merely thought that since you did not know that one
can boot directly into single user mode, (i.e. without
booting into the normal level 5, and then using a shell
terminal to "sudo init s"), I thought you are probably
a newbie, and thus suggested you read the wiki.
Why is that an insult?
And no, I did not do anything as you say in your
second paragraph.
So, keep you from guessing, please read

Cheers,
