Hi there,
I think if there's a "Graphical Rescue Mode" ("GRM"), that would be
great and friendly to end-users. I know many users who can't rescue
their systems from a shell. The work needs a lot of knowledge about
Linux and shell. But a new user can't learn soon or even they never want
to learn about them. However, new users often made mistakes.
So I thought about a GRM. Just like Windows' one.Since Fedora uses systemd, the runlevel is not so important. Even though we must choose a runlevel, there are still some are the same. $ ls -l runlevel2.target runlevel3.target runlevel4.target lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 17 Mar 30 07:01 runlevel2.target -> multi-user.target lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 17 Mar 30 07:01 runlevel3.target -> multi-user.target lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 17 Mar 30 07:01 runlevel4.target -> multi-user.target We are still able to choose one from them. I think the GRM at least * Can enter desktop environment with superuser. * GRUB should have an entry to the GRM. * <Optional> network connection, if user wants. This may be helpful if user doesn't have some tools. * <Optional>(may be difficult) Hard disk operation - don't mount the rootfs. maybe we can load everything we need to the RAM. * Be full-internationalized. Be friendly to all the people. fbterm is helpful for this feature. I don't think it's too hard to implement except the fourth one. I hope end-users (and I :-) can see the great feature in Fedora in future. Best Regards, Mike Manilone.
