As to the problem of a broken system: This is what single user mode is for. No need for a livecd.
Is this really what single user mode is for? I haven't used it, yet. And how do I switch or boot into single user mode?
Same as booting into runlevel 3, just use 1 (or S) instead. I.e. append "1" to your kernel parameters in grub/syslinux.
From my point of view there is no benefit to the inittab method and some benefit to the daemon method.
I see it the other way round, because I still see no benefit from starting daemons in the background. In fact I only saw regressions.
My point was that with using DAEMONS you can do either.

Agreed. Cheers, Tom
