Enter linux single at the LILO prompt

If you´re using SuSE or Delix (DLD) distributions: you also have to edit a distribution-specific file in /etc. Please have a look at the manual of your distribution for details.
Note:The approach to starting services used by the above-mentioned distributions makes configuration of services easy for the proprietary config-tools of these distributions, but unfortunately is non-standard. I´m planning to write a generic extension for this approach some time in the future, but as I´m currently rather short on time, don´t hold your breath for this.
If you are using a different distribution: Please check whether you´ve got all config files needed by the service (and whether they are in the right directory, too). Some daemons (for example Apache, aka httpd) just die silently if their configuration files are not present or misconfigured.
