You can also add a '3' to the end of your kernel parameters in grub before

Unfortunately none of these methods were successful. Adding '3' didn't boot
to level 3! The method involving ftp to a mirror is out - I don't have a
connection. Using Ctrl-Alt-F1 gives me a terminal and I tried the yum
command from there. It said it couldn't retrieve the mirrorlist, and
couldn't retrieve repository metadata. Attempting to install from a
graphical file manager says that local installs are not supported. End of
road, I'm afraid.
The kernel parameter should be a 3 character, not a '3' as I said, unfortunately
its hard to say some of these things clearly without using an example (so as I
should have done.. it should be like this):
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.25-1.fc9.i686 ro
root=UUID=8301cc68-612d-41d0-9e05-112d8fd6bc9d quiet 3
Without a network connection you can only use rpm to install (rpm -i). I hope
you worked this out or got a fresh install done.
