Uhm the current "single-user mode" string is inspired by the one in debian's original update-grub script, which used to be "recovery mode" but was changed in 2006: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=370110 I guess it'd be polite to ask Martin about it before switching to "recovery mode" or "rescue mode". Martin, our problem is that "single-user mode" is very confusing for those not experienced with Un*x. They tend to think this is the normal mode of operation since they are (usually) a "single user".
