For the former, you have several choices depending on your intention. If you *always* want to start in non-GUI mode then you simply edit your /etc/inittab to start the system at "runlevel 3". If you want to select that option at boot time you do it in the grub screens. Basically adding 3 to the kernel parameter line. If you want to switch from GUI mode to a Terminal then "Ctrl+Alt+F1" through "Ctrl+Alt+F6" gets you to one of 6 "terminals". "Ctrl+Alt+F7" gets you back. > What do others think of this new look-and-feel? That's another useless thread... > If this is where Fedora is going, Im going to have to try Centos. Centos != FC5 Centos = RHELv4 Seems like lots of folks out there have a hard time dealing with change. -- Why be difficult when, with a bit of effort, you could be impossible? -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
