Start Ubuntu without init

Is it possible to start Ubuntu (or any other modern UNIX OS) or get it to any usable state without the init software.

By this I mean replacing init with bash and manually initializing all the components.

So far i've managed to edit grub at start and get the bash shell but I don't know where to go from here!

Also can't find any topic on this! Smilie

Thank you!
