I am struggling with installing FC2 on an old IBM Thinkpad. The Anaconda
graphical installer is crashing with what looks like an out of memory
problem. Is it possible to force a text based install?

linux text

as input on the install prompt. Isn't that written down on the first
screen you face after the CD1 / DVD booted?



Ah, that makes sense. Unfortunately I never see the boot screen as the machine cannot boot from CD-ROM and I'm using glbf to initialize an NFS install from a boot floppy that boots boot.iso from a VFAT partition.

Is there a kernel command line parameter that forces a text install?
This is the only variation I have on the installer boot process.

Bill,

The 'text' option is a kernel option, as are all of the Fedora boot parameters.


Cheers,
