Hi,
Unfortunately, FC (and RH) distros seem to be aimed at the newer machines instead of having a mechanism for text only install for lower end boxes (including the ability to have a command line only environment)
What ever gave you the idea that RHL/FC cannot be installed text-only, or with less "shtuff" on lower-end machines?
I've never been able to do it and have installed RH/FC on well over 200 machines. The bottom enders have always flumped me.
Try the rule project... redhat 8 is about the last verion that ran really well on 486s (I have 1GB microdrive with a rh8 install down around 450MB after triming)
