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):
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
