Linux: Single user mode

There's a couple of ways to get into single user mode. # init 1 works like it does on all systems. What I'm more concerned with is how to boot into single user mode in case I have to fix problems.
You can supply one of two flags to the LILO boot sequence. For the sake of arugment, the default lilo boot lable is ${l}
- LILO: ${l} single
Boots the syste into single user mode, after executing most of the bootup rc scripts. Looks like the only ones not run are network related.
- LILO: ${l} emergency
Boots the system straight into single user mode without running any of the startup scripts.
