This whole root .profile thing is probably being made a little more
complex than necessary, and I'm sure we all have our way of dealing
with things.

For example, I will assume that /root/.profile and /.profile were
not hard-linked for a reason (at least they never have been on my
machine).  This insures, to me, that when I hit single-user mode,
it will do something different than if I 'su -' to a super-user
with $HOME==/root and $SHELL==/bin/sh.  (the latter is a much more
involved profile).
