Subject: [gentoo-user] How to get text only console on livecd install
Date: Fri, 19 Feb 2010 05:38:06 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87sk8xpiap.fsf@newsguy.com> (raw)
How can I force a text only console when installing from live cd?
(This is the most recent livecd for x86 on www.gentoo.org)
There appears only gentoo or gentoo-nofb...as boot choices and either
of those ends in a gui.
I always find it takes me 10 minutes to find a terminal once the gui
comes up. So prefer the text console.
Looking thru the F2 options.. as well, I don't see a choice that looks
like it might give me a text only console to work in.
I realize I can do something once I find a command terminal to either
kill X or just use that terminal... but why have to dick around like that?
