Speaking not for the original poster but only for me: |

In a mathematical sense it surely is, because the interactive interface |
| 15 |
you are confronted with allows you not to start any services you're dis- |
| 16 |
liking. In a practical sense it surely requires more than patience, be- |
| 17 |
cause for each and every service available the user will be prompted to |
| 18 |
enter a number: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
1. Start this sevice. |
| 21 |
2. Skip this service. |
| 22 |
3. Start all remaining services. |
| 23 |
4. Start a privileged shell. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
So instead of pressing the "1" key umpteen times (plus one time too oft- |
| 26 |
en, ARGH :-) it's probably really easier to boot from a live CD. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
And the privileged shell offered here is also restricted in that it is |
| 29 |
only usable for the minority of 330 million people using a US keyboard |
| 30 |
layout, while the vast majority of 7.4 billion people NOT using a US |
| 31 |
keyboard layout will most probably not even manage to enter their pass- |
| 32 |
word :-( |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Sincerely, |
| 35 |
