Then continue booting. I'd say what he asked for would have been achieved with run level one (otherwise known as single), not three. Run level three requires a password, run level one does not. If you can still boot into run level one, then typing a numeral one, instead of 3, as you've suggested, ought to work. The old run level one (whatever they call it, these days), was a basic, isolated from the network, text-only, login. But I haven't tried that on a modern system, to see whether it boots up similarly, or into a newer special login. -- tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.19.8-100.fc20.i686 #1 SMP Tue May 12 17:42:35 UTC 2015 i686 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists. George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
