You can Alt-F2 to see messages, and Alt-F3 to get to a sh shell. With that, you can poke around and see what's what. -- *********************************************************************** * John Oliver http://www.john-oliver.net/ * * * *********************************************************************** _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list
