Subject: Re: Heeeelp, my Fedora won't let me start in text mode Yes, this advice is correct, but executing it isn't quite straight forward, regretably. The problem is something called First Boot which doesn't follow the standard GUI convention on Linux which lets you go to a text console by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1 (or Ctrl-Alt-F2, etc.). So, you need to boot first into single user mode from whence you can: chkconfig --level 0123456 firstboot off At that point, you may start in a graphical logon screen, but you'll be able to Ctrl-Alt-F1 to go to a text console logon screen. To go to single user mode: 1.) If using grub do 'a s' during the grub screen. PS: You've probably not made grub accessible, so this may be a bit hit and miss. 2.) If using lilo do: [default.kernel.name] s Erik Heil writes: > From: "Erik Heil" <eheil at patmedia.net> > > What you need to do is change the default runlevel the system boots > into, and all should be fine. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Krister Ekstrom" <crisekstrom at bredband.net> > To: "speakup" <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> > Sent: Monday, November 10, 2003 9:46 AM > Subject: Heeeelp, my Fedora won't let me start in text mode > > > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > > Hash: RIPEMD160 > > > > Hi speakup, > > > > I have just installed Fedora core 1.0 using the speakup enabled > > boot-orig.iso disc.
