The answer to this question is in my HOWTO at: http://www.linux-speakup.org/ftp/disks/fedora/HOWTO_INSTALL.html When you access this document, search for "runlevel." When it comes to installing only text apps, select "Server" as the class of installation and make sure all the gui application classes are not checked on the packages screen. However, you do want the X libraries. hank writes: > From: "hank" <hank at hanksmith.net> > > how do you tell it to boot up in text mode? and how do I tell it to only > install the text consol? > that is all I need linux fore > thanks
