1. in single-user mode, you can't jump back to the warm comfort of the graphical user interface, without a little techie knowledge and a bunch of extra steps. and, you can't affect any graphical programs, obviously, as they aren't running. thre might be some more things i'm missing.

2. manual. if you don't believe me , you can check out man's manpage, `man man`.
