That turns off almost everything, whereas gentoo=nox does a normal
startup of everything but xdm. Single mode has its uses but it's a bit
of a sledgehammer for this particular nut.
But I can emerge things and fix stuff. That's all I need at the time.
As long as you don't need LVM, dmcrypt or anythng else beyond the bare
minimum, that's true. But when X is the only problem, a method to disable
only X seems appropriate.
True since I don't use those. I also like that it speeds things up
since the only process running is mine. I get back to a working system
faster that way. Whichever works is fine with me. This is just my way
of doing it.
