Me confused. I want to try booting the FC17 install disk in lowres or text mode. To do this, apparently I should enter "linux lowres" or "linux text" at the "boot prompt". The fc17 install guide (http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/17/html/Installation_Guide/ap-admin-options.html) says, "To use boot options, enter linux option at the boot: prompt. To access the boot: prompt on a system that displays a graphical boot screen, press the Esc key while the graphical boot screen is displayed. " If I hit esc before the "fedora 17 will boot in 10 seconds" screen, or while that is visible, I get what seems like a boot prompt - at the top of the screen it says "boot:" and I am able to type in "linux text". But when I hit enter, it replies "Could not find kernel image: linux". If I hit esc later than that, during the pretty screen with the line crawling along the bottom, it just switches from that view to the log from starting daemons. Can someone please tell me how to get into text mode? What did I do wrong? thanks, TDB -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
