When booting, at the splash screen/menu press "A". then add "3" at the end of the line that comes up.hi,
I have been posting several times today.
I am having a lot of problems to install Fedora Core1 on my system.
First of all, when I tried to boot from the cd I tried to install in grafical mode, but when anaconda started all I got was a white screen with my mouse pointer on it, i could not move the pointer, and nothing happened at all.
Then somebody here gave me the tip to try and install in text mode, so i did that and I was able to install Linux completely.
But there were problems when I first started the system, I got the screen that gave the startup procedure but the system froze when it tried to load firstboot.
Again I posted and Alexander and iludwig gave me the advice to edit my grub config and change it to kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl ro root=LABEL=/ hdd-ide-scsi norhgb confirm
so that is what i did, i anwered all the questions with yes in order to start as much services as possible, i did the same when I came to firstboot. Miraculously i got the welcome screen from firstboot, it said that there were some steps ahead in order to complete the system configuration, i clicked the next button... and again the system froze.
So, I conclude that there must be a problem with the Xwindow system as everytime it is loaded something seems to go wrong (correct me if I am wrong)
Could somebody tell me what to do?
this will boot you to a text login (run level 3) and you can fis what is wrong with X there.
Another reboot will bring it back to the graphics login.
Matt.
