Hey,
How do I go about in launching in user mode?
I wish to recalibrate my powerbook battery, in which I have to start in SU mode and drain the battery?

Thanks

Cheers, I meant Single user mode, I'm sure you knew that though.

So then what? I launch in that mode...

Yes, just start holding those keys to start in Single User Mode.

... let it run till it goes off = battery completely empty. And then proceed with your recalibration: reset PMU, fully charge over the night..
