Fedora Core 3 How to start text Console??
|
|
|
| Hi,
Normally with redhat 9 and RHEL 3 when the Installation is finished then
the system asks you in which form you want the system to start in
graphical mode or in text mode.
After the Fedora core 3 installation, the system automatically starts in
graphical mode, how can I switch this off.
I want the system to start in text (console) mode.
Hope somebody can give me a tip.
Thanks
RobH

Change (as root) in /etc/inittab the line that reads; id:5:initdefault: to
read; id:3:initdefault:
And you don't even have to reboot, press the three key combo of
Ctrl+Alt+F1 [to F6] log on and type something like 'sudo init 3' without
the quotes. See 'man sudo' for the details.

Edit /etc/inittab and change the following line:
id:5:initdefault:
to
id:3:initdefault:
The next time you boot, you will get a text mode login prompt, rather
than going into X.
HTH,
