You would only be running in init=/bin/sh temporarily, long enough to fix the issue, then you'd boot normally. You might not even need to edit the line - doesn't your grub menu have a line that basically tells it to go into single-user mode? If so, use that, fix the issue, then reboot into normal multiuser mode. Or, you can do 'sudo telinit 1' and drop into the same single-user mode on a running system, and then telinit 2 to get back to regular mode. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
