Re: Help needed!!!!

[David GUYON MARTIN]

Usually single is runlevel 1.
While the Grub menu is displayed:
  select the linux line
  press e to edit
  select the line begining with kernel
  press e to edit
  at the end add a space and the number one as init parameter:
    kernel XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 1
  press escape (back to the lines for linux)
  press b to boot

(this modification won't be saved into menu.lst)
