In x11.en.xml, section run-xfree86, latest paragraph (the note), it is stated: Note: If you're running Mac OS X, you can type <code>>console</code> at the login window Problem is, user does not have always direct access to a field where he can type: >console. I'm not completely sure, but I think by default, when the user first installs Panther, he gets a new admin user with automatic login. Then he can have changed automatic login to choose list of users instead of name and password, then he has no direct access to this field. Well, he can use others (but he must know, he can use it, which is not obvious from searching in Mac help); but if he disabled netinfo in directoryaccess, that user does not appear. (this one I'm sure). In both cases, he has not direct access to the mandatory field to enter >console. One way to enable it without going in system preferences is just to type the first letter of a user's name (which highlights the user's name in list) and then option-return. That gives him the mandatory field to type >console. Unfortunately, I cannot test it in case of a unique user with automatic login. But it works with several users and automatic login too. Therefore I'll guess, it's the same in case of a unique user. Just so that the user would not be confused and does not begin to change all his accounts preferences adventurously, would it be possible to add to this note: In case you don't see a field to enter a user's name in the login window, just type the first letter of whichever user's name, following by option-return.
