  If you did a "linux -single" to boot, congrates you ended up
  exactly where you wanted to be.  When the system boots to single
  user mode, you are automatically logged in as root and left at a
  console prompt.  There is no gui in single user mode.

  From the "sh-2.05b#" prompt you should be able to disable the ppp0
  however you were told. (may be easiest to run
  redhat-config-network-tui).

This is Linux Country. On a quiet night, you can hear Windows reboot.
