[opensuse-autoinstall] Is there a text-based yast installation?
Hey folks, Is it possible to do a text-based install like there is for Red Hat Anaconda? If so, how do I initiate it? I'm going through the docs but cannot see anything obvious. My problem is that I'm trying to install OpenSuSe 10.2 64bit within a VMWare machine, and it keeps crashing right near the end of the install when it's detecting hardware. I have a hunch that doing a text-based install would fix this, based on the stuff happening with the virtual screen at that time. thanks, -Alan -- "Aikido has but one principle - the universal reality of life" - Mitsugi Saotome -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org
Hi! Sure it is. Just add Textmode=1 to the kernel command line when booting the installation. For more reference, see http://en.opensuse.org/Linuxrc#Parameter_Reference Jiri Dne Thursday 01 of November 2007 15:57:29 Alan McKay napsal(a):

Or press the F3 key on the initial screen and select text from there. On Thu, 2007-11-01 at 16:17 +0100, Jiri Srain wrote:
