I used Grub2 when I installed 12.2 Bld #167 DVD iso last earlier today.
How do I get to see the boot menu to enter "init 3"on the bott command line (used to be hold down SHIFT to do this)? Anyone know, please? Move highlight to your desired menu entry and type 'e' to enter editor mode. You could then append "3" to your existing kernel

: parameters. Thanks, Michael
Thanks, Michael, for your response but....no, this is not the answer. The command '3' or 'init 3' is not "recognised" :-( .
(Oh for the simplicity of grub legacy! :-( )

Hi Basil, You don't need to go to console during boot. Once you're in level 5 (kde or gnome) just log out and change the login to console then do the compile. That's the way I've been doing it for 2-3 years.
