What do you think about it? Need to be in Arch? During booting before starting daemons appears message: "Press I to enter interactive boot mode" Interactive boot allows to select action for each daemon such "start service" and "skip service"

You already decide whether to "start service" or "skip service" when you edit /etc/rc.conf. In the event you feel like it's important to change your decision, simply bootup to whatever runlevel you can and edit the file. -- GPG/PGP ID: B42DDCAD

And if you've screwed up your system so far that it doesn't boot due to something in /etc/rc.conf then boot with init=bash and then modify your config. Or, grab a liveCD you have around for occasions like this :-) /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe

In 6 years using Gentoo I didn't need this feature once. And in 3 actually 4 years using Arch Linux I never needed and missed this feature. Heiko
