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.
