I don't recall the FC5 requirements, but FC4 *could* run in 128 megs,
albeit painfully.  But the graphical installation routine actually
required more memory than the completed installed system.

i.e. You could install, in text mode, a system that would *later* run in
full graphical mode.

Check the release notes for what you need to *run* the system.  If you
have installed a working non-X system, and your system has enough grunt
to run Linux with X, you don't need to re-install from scratch to add X
to it, just install the extra bits.

I suspect that you can run FC5 with 128 megs, but you probably want to
use a lighter windowing system than Gnome or KDE.

It has booted into text mode.  That *is* text mode.  The computer boots
up, and waits for you to log in.

If you're going to use the PC in text mode, log in as yourself.  If
you're going to configure things further, including adding a user
account for yourself, log in as the root user.

By the sound of this discussion, I think you need to read some
introductary guides for using Linux.  It sounds like you've jumped in
the deep end a little early.
