u tell me how you did a text mode install ? Via Kickstart ?

I used Ubuntu, but anaconda also does text mode.

 

I didn't know that there was a way to start the Anaconda installer via command line.

Please share.

I don't have Optimus as my laptop is old.

Optimus goes back 10 years, but I don't know if it  was used with

removable graphics cards.    In any case, if you want to run everything

using the graphics card you are in the same pickle I had when the

software controlled switch failed in my 2010 Macbook Pro.   In that

case, I did a text mode install and then install the (Nvidia) 

drivers for the discrete graphics to get around the GUI installer's

attempts to use bumblebee (linux optimus support).
