levels."

Many thanks for taking the time to post this, Greg, but I have to emphasize 
in the strongest terms that I am a "major league" newby when it comes to 
linux; hence, your post engenders the following questions:

1. How does one go into "single user" mode?
2. What is telinit?
and
3. What is a run level?

Okay, I'm not requesting that those questions be addressed on list, given 
that the preponderance of participants here are obviously operating at a 
more sophisticated / informed level than I am at this point. . For now, I 
pretty much lurk on this list, trying to understand what little I can while 
I spend the rest of my "linux edification" time reading man pages and just 
playing around with my system.

Keep on keeping on, folks; I'll get a handle on all this stuff at some 
point!

John
