(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?
