full-service console boot

S

I have a fully operating 13.2 with kde. I started with the base system(with mouse) net-install and later added the GUI.

Occasionally I'd like to boot into a full-service console level . NOT single-user mode.

Without this business:
Code: 
mount -u /
swapon -a 
mount -a
/usr/sbin/moused
[which half the time, doesn’t work anyway -- yes, the mouse works perfectly in kde]

I want a multi-user server console with everything but x-windows.
Then, if I choose, I should be able to hop into the gui again with [ctrl]-D
Is possible?
 
SirDice, thank you.

I honestly thought of that -- but I wondered if there were a way to add that option permanently to the boot screen. It would be a useful (one-boot temporary) feature to have – just as the single-user option has its uses for more ‘dramatic’ situations.

However, you are right, it’s easy enough to hashtag that on and off in rc.conf.
