I not only know how to boot into single-user mode, I know how to do it 
from a CLI without using sudo, which I personally consider a pointless 
crutch on a home box.  (If you've been on this list for more than a few 
days, you've seen my opinion on that.)  I've been using Linux since 
*before* FC 1, and have been using Fedora as my main OS since F 9.  You 
seem to be interested only in telling me how to boot into init 1, and 
ignoring the fact that I only wanted to make sure that you *really were* 
in single-user mode, not init 3.  Now, instead of repeatedly trying to 
tell your grandfather how to suck eggs, try answering the question I 
asked in my last message: "Why were you using single-user mode?"
