While I am a fan of "use the existing tools to fix the problem without physical intervention if at all possible"-- remote management does that to you-- I think what the OP was asking was "what should I do if I've screwed up the config on the hard drive enough that it won't boot properly, and I want to start from a known-working environment to fix things". Booting single-user off a CD may be completely unnecessary in this particular case; nevertheless, it's a valid solution to the problem. -- -Chuck
