What the book means is that FreeBSD just does not distinguish various runlevels like SysV does. There is only singleuser and multiuser with BSD-stlye init, while SysV init has more (Singleuser, Multiuser with no networking, Multiuser with Networking, X...). Of course it's possible to run FreeBSD non-networked. :-) > I have work with all versions of unix (ATT, SCO, AIX, SUN) etc and they all > have multiuser > mode without network support.
