First of all, the original text is incorrect even for 4.x (it should say "wait until the countdown, press enter, type 'boot -s' and press enter again" since 4.x has /boot/loader). Second, a default 5.x installation has the horrid daemon menu, where you press 4 to get single-user mode (or 6 to get the loader prompt, at which point you type 'boot -s' as in 4.x) DES --=20 Dag-Erling Sm=F8rgrav - des@des.no
