How do you do this? I read man shutdown and didn't see an explicit setting for going into single-user mode. Also, I typically run my system in "single-user" mode (that is, I'm the only person on it) :) and there isn't a whole lot going on anyway .. just the stock things that get loaded during the boot process (in /etc/rc). I'm not so sure the absense of these programs in memory will help things that much, but if it will make a difference, I'm willing to try it. -- David Fox (bbs.barfeau@tsoft.sf-bay.org)
