Are you using a physical DVD or a live image put on USB? If you put
it on USB, then you can add an overlay so you can modify the config
files.
I'd used an image on USB once and subsquently used a physical DVD,
mostly out of familiarity.
Could you give me a pointer on how to do overlays?
Assuming you have another computer available, install the "livecd-tools"
package and run something like this:
livecd-iso-to-disk --format --msdos --overlay-size-mb 1024
Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-32-1.2.iso /dev/sdd
Replace the sdd with your USB drive, this will completely wipe the
drive. Put the name of whatever iso image you're using instead of the
workstation one. The 1024 makes a 1GB overlay. When you boot that
drive, any changes you make will be persistent. You can install
packages, change configs, whatever you want, up to 1GB of changes.
There's also an option to create a home partition as well, optionally
encrypted, but you don't need that right now. For now, the /home
directory will be part of the overlay.
If you don't make any changes to the boot command line other than
adding a "3" at the end, does it boot to a login prompt?
I'll check.
Is there any way to tell what resolution it uses for the menu screen?
I don't know of any way to tell.
