It's time to admit defeat on this one. I've set selinux to permissive. I've rebooted and relabelled. I can't even get konsole to run, so no

the package with the installer might realise that I just wanted a
localinstall, but of course you can't add any parameters to that. It looks like a dead-end on that laptop.
You could try ctrl-alt-F1 and use the virtual consoles ...

It's worth a try, thanks. I've had to leave it for tonight, but I'll try that tomorrow. I think, though, that I'm going to have to put one of the mini distros on that laptop. Still, it would have been nice to test F9 from the hardware POV, even though I always knew it would be too slow to work with.

You can also add a '3' to the end of your kernel parameters in grub before you boot (edit at the grub menu for just that one time), which will get you to runlevel 3 and just work in the virtual terminal until you've got the network up and running (or at least the rpm installed).
