Partially right. Gentoo has several gotchas in runlevel 1. If /usr is a |
| 6 |
seperate filesystem you have to be careful. Bash by default is not |
| 7 |
statically linked and requires readline (which is installed in /usr/lib). ls |
| 8 |
will require libgpm which is also in /usr/lib. So you have to be careful. |

One of the best things you can do for yourself is install an all in one shell |
| 10 |
for maintenece like busybox or nash. Also lvm is not statically linked and |
| 11 |
can require libraries out of /usr/lib also. So be careful and understand |
| 12 |
what you are doing. You just might need a livecd in some cases for |
| 13 |
shrinking. |
