[Ti] help with 10.4

[Mark Swanson]

Chris,

Thanks for the info but I am a little perplexed with terminal.  If it 
isn't too much trouble could you instruct me on how and what commands I 
need to use.  What is System Starter?  One time it let me boot into 
single user mode but, again, it accepted no passwords
