      Bob,
      

      From having typed the "e" char, go from that grub menu into the
      kernel line (linux ...) of your actual kernel, and insert a "3"
      (or "s") character between "quiet" and "rhgb", surrounded by
      blanks, and press Ctrl+X for booting. You will land in a tty
      console, where you can login (as root for example). Then you may
      remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf. After this, reboot
      normally.
      

      Kind regards

    Yes, I googled a bit and found it. I didn't realize that after
    typing "e" I could scroll down in the menu that comes up. After
    finding that I was able to add the "3" and get a prompt and delete
    the file 10-monitor.conf that I created earlier.

    
    I now have two computers running F-19 and need to finish
    configuring, made both fresh installs from the live spin, that
    leaves several hundred megs of app's to download and updates, all of
    which burn up my allotment of bandwidth so I am reluctant to waste
    it by starting over.

    
    Thanks very much for your help,

    
    Bob
