1 How can I force a text only console when installing from live cd?
2
3 (This is the most recent livecd for x86 on www.gentoo.org)
4
5 There appears only gentoo or gentoo-nofb...as boot choices and either
6 of those ends in a gui.
7
8 I always find it takes me 10 minutes to find a terminal once the gui
9 comes up. So prefer the text console.
10
11 Looking thru the F2 options.. as well, I don't see a choice that looks
12 like it might give me a text only console to work in.
13
14 I realize I can do something once I find a command terminal to either
15 kill X or just use that terminal... but why have to dick around like that?
