while Iwas practising, I tried to switch into single-user
by writing init S in the command line then the system prompt
for root passwd for a single-user or init 0-6 for normal
start-up. I've typed 6 and then pressed the return key.
the system started rebooting,and keeps rebooting.
The question is how can I change from run-level 6 into another run-level?

Hi,

runlevel 6 is for reboot, so change to runlevel 3 for normal operation (standard installation)
The line
Code: 
is:3:initdefault:
in /etc/inittab defines the runlevel
to enter at boot-time.

ciao
