What's the equivalent of run-level 2? i.e. multi-user, but no networking. Troubleshooting some (probable) networking issues that prevent the server from fully booting. Normally I would boot into run-level 2, so I have multi-user, but without networking enabled.

There used to be a good GUI graphical interface for viewing enabling and disabling stuff on the various runlevels… what happened to that?

Thanks for the clear, concise explanation. It is needed and appreciated. However, I'm looking for a way to find the current target, not necessarily the same thing as the default target. I'm writing a script using the runlevel man page as a guide. Some bright soul pointed out `who -r` gives the current run level (but not target). There should be an easier way (like get.target or similar). Have I missed something? TIA.
