Your text contain a misunderstanding regarding what happen when booting with 'single' or 's' as the kernel argument. The computer will not run the stuff in rcS.d/ and then the stuff in rc1.d/ in this case. It will run only the stuff in rcS.d/ and then start sulogin. The single user "runlevel" is a state between runlevels, and not runlevel 1. Booting with 's' and '1' give different results, and your misunderstanding is part of the reason the broken single user in Debian happened.

I suppose Petter's point applied to Debian with KDE Desktop. In that case there is no GUI-based package manager, neither with stable nor unstable nor testing. What Kubuntu is using (kpackagekit) is not available. There is a packagekit package in testing but no GUI AFAICS.

<p>How about using runlevel 3 for someone who wants something similar to single user + networking?</p>
<p>BTW, the black text on your site is kind of hard to read on a darkish green grass textured background.</p>

The update-notifier we have for GNOME is restricted to non-KDE desktop. KDE desktops have update-notifier-kde (src:kingston-update-notifier). For wheezy, we might switch everything to PackageKit, although that's not entirely clear yet.

<p>Where is the 'emergency' boot mode documented? I've not heard of it before
and searching the kernel source & docs (lenny) turns up nothing.</p>

<p>that's because it's not the kernel implementing this, but instead sysvinit.</p>
<p>See 'man 8 init', search for emergency there.</p>
