Not true. You could fix this (rare) situation by booting into single user mode rather than a LiveCD.
This was already explained by Tom and discussed before. ;-)
Not sure I see why the rc scripts should be removed to handle this rare corner case ...
I never said that the rc scripts should be removed, but the inittab method must also be kept. It was someone else (the OP) who asked for removing them. Or do you mean removing the rc script temporarily from the DAEMONS array if such an issue happens? This can be necessary if xorg fails for any reason and doesn't allow you to switch to the text console. This is not really a corner case. It happened to me not very often, but several times. Heiko
