==How To Boot Into Single User Mode==
During your LILO startup where it pauses for 5 or 30 seconds, at the <code>boot:</code> prompt, if you type <code><i>image_name</i> 1</code>, the boot will continue but you will be in [[Single User Mode]].

:EXAMPLE: On my dual boot system, my Linux image is named "Linux" and my Windows image is named "windoz". To boot into single user mode, at the <code>boot:</code> prompt I would type: <code>boot: <b>linux 1</b></code>

TIP: If you did not install your system with a pause, you should really run [[liloconfig]] and put at least a 5 second pause in. Sometimes it's useful.
