I screwed up a system. I change Xorg's config and now I can't get into
the box. SSH won't work because eth0 isn't made to come up
_automatically_ :-) Been lazy to update it but not lazy enough to mind
having to type in /etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart each time :0

I know that one can use the LiveCD to boot and then mount the partitions
and edit the files, but I want to know if there's a better way since
this box don't have a CDrom handy.

Under Fedora, one can append a "s" to the end of grub to signify single
user runlevel, hence dropping into the root shell. Is there any way to
do this in Gentoo? I remember the last time I tried this on another box,
it didn't work. (but there's a reference on the list that says it
works??)

The other thing would be,  How can one use runlevels to signify whether
or not we want to boot into "nonetwork" or "default".

PS: No I_net access and fro my 15K of archived messages, only 2 refered
to runlevels.

Thanks and sorry for the daft questions
