Do know about mc. Installing it now so I can see the manpage on how to use it.

Is there a reason you can't download this and extract it using mc (can do it on an x86 machine):

At least that way you know where it's coming from. :-)

    Or you can email me the sudo bin for RSEL6 and I can try and run
    it from a mounted usb drive.

    Does the cubieboard even use grub? I thought that was still
    64-bit UEFI only, and certainly not available on EL6. I suspect
    what you need to do is adjust the boot parameter through u-boot.

        You could just edit /etc/shadow and remove the password field.

        That is on the sata drive.  I will have to unplug the sata,
        hook it up to a sata/usb adapter to gain access to the shadow
        file from another system.  Part of the reason I went with the
        Cubieboards was the sata interface.

        It looks like there is a file in /boot/grub/loader that has
        the options entry and at that point it is booting off the sd
        card.  So I think I can get it into single user mode.  Will
        be trying this tomorrow.

            So what file on the sd card do I edit to add 'single'?

            thank you

                First discovered no sudo.  I always had used su and
                never noticed no sudo.  Is there someway someone
                could send me the bin and I could run it from a usb
                drive from my user account?

                But since no sudo, I wanted to boot into single user
                mode to change root's password.  I hook up to the
                console serial port and power cycle the server.  I
                get a selection list of

                Centos Options
                1:        centos

                No way to up arrow and press A to append single mode
                to that.

                How do I get the system to boot into single mode?

                thanks

                Bob
