2 & 3 are not identical. It used to be that 2 was multiuser without any networking.
Yes, I miss level 2. It was useful for some maintenance jobs.
What can be done in this level that can not be done in level 1? Why network must be disabled to do it?
--- 2 is usually same as 1 but has networking enabled -- but doesn't use remote network resources (NFS/SAMBA...) -- but you can ssh into a machine in runlevel2 if it is so configured.
Not really. But you can configure a runlevel any way you want. Or you used to be able by symlinking the appropriate rc files into the runlevel directories.
I usually thought of it as *single-user* with basic networking turned on.
