Never got a response to this...

Since I like things clean and simple, it would make much more sense - 
assuming this can be done reliably - to just boot into single user mode, 
rather than using SystemRescue/LiveCD/DVD.

Googling appears to say it is fine, as I saw lots of references to doing 
a fsck on /usr when booted into single user mode, which suggests that 
/usr is not mounted when in single user mode.

Is this correct?

If so, I see no reason to use a LiveCD/DVD, booting into single user 
mode is all that is necessary.
