You can do the latter without doing the former, by hitting Ctrl-Alt-F1, or Ctrl-Alt-F2, etc. through Ctrl-Alt-F6. These are your text-based virtual consoles. Hit Ctrl-Alt-F7 to get back to the X session. To really boot into single-user mode, the easiest way is to edit your grub kernel command and add single to the end of the command. This is the line that starts something like kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.10-1.770_FC3 ... You can do that interactively during grub boot, or you can edit /boot/grub/grub.conf and reboot. Doing it interactively makes it easier to recover from typos.
