The basic video install is just the graphical installer, using the 'vesa' driver rather than the native driver for the system's graphics adapter. Except for the choice of graphics driver, it's exactly the same as a 'regular' install. The text mode installer is an entirely different path in anaconda which was heavily simplified a couple of releases ago, hence the lack of control you noticed. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
