Please explain how to boot linux into single mode.

  Most Win9x (or soon to be X-Win9x users) probaly do not know how to
boot into single mode.  In my opinion you are definitely accurate when
you say, "Re-installing is the windows way to do things" however, for
a linux newbie this may be a good idea.  In other words the more a
newbie installs linux the more they learn about some of the basics of
linux.  (There are not necessarily many places around that teach linux
affordably).   I know I became an expert at installing linux! :o)  It
was a transition from windows to linux.   BTW, I dont' know how to
boot linux into "single mode".   I'm sure I'll learn someday.
Linux ain't easy!  But, it is definately worth the effort so far!

I think Microsoft should be somewhat admired for its maximizing the
capitalist approach to life. But, I don't like buggy or incomplete
software that is 'closed source' and I have to pay for it!

Linux has a future. Let's keep it going. Please.
