Talk:Single-user mode

Unix operating systems

I'm removing the section on Unix because of its extremely poor quality. Please add it back if you can improve it. I also added a cleanup tag, as the rest of the article could use some work also, as well as re-adding the removed section

Added just the short summary. I'm not sure what the rest was doing there Fireice 01:00, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

"Unix-like" vs "UNIX"

This is very ambiguous because FreeBSD (and others) handle single user mode without run levels, but with specialised flags passed to init at boot time. Only System V-like systems use run levels, as noted on the page on runlevels. I'd fix it but I'm not sure how to word this so it's not unambiguous. -- -- Jashank (u | t | c) 23:46, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Sources

I'm not good at this, but looking around i found these

http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Installation_Guide-en-US/s1-rescuemode-booting-single.html

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=mac/10.4/en/mh343.html

Is there something wrong with these or has nobody spent 5 minutes googling "Single User Mode"
