Is this really what single user mode is for? I haven't used it, yet.

I see it the other way round, because I still see no benefit from starting daemons in the background. In fact I only saw regressions. And under Gentoo I once tried to start the login manager before some other scripts and only got problems with xorg. So xorg should be started as the last application, if the user doesn't know what he is doing. Heiko
