According to my /etc/inittab: # new-style single-user su0:S:wait:/sbin/rc single su1:S:wait:/sbin/sulogin so softlevel=single should get you there. However, you say it doesn't ... # rc-update show single # Hmm ... nothing there. Sure enough its empty: $ ls -la /etc/runlevels/single/ total 8 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jan 21 2010 . drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 May 2 10:54 .. So, what you would need to do I think is add the services you want starting at single runlevel there and you should be good to go. -- Regards, Mick
