30 According to my /etc/inittab:
31
32 # new-style single-user
33 su0:S:wait:/sbin/rc single
34 su1:S:wait:/sbin/sulogin
35
36 so softlevel=single should get you there. However, you say it doesn't ...
37
38 # rc-update show single
39 #
40
41 Hmm ... nothing there. Sure enough its empty:
42
43 $ ls -la /etc/runlevels/single/
44 total 8
45 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jan 21 2010 .
46 drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 May 2 10:54 ..
47
48 So, what you would need to do I think is add the services you want starting at
49 single runlevel there and you should be good to go.
