Hi Doc, In theory all you do is wait until you get to the X login prompt then press [Ctrl], [Alt] & [F1] (or F2 to 6). Another way is to press [Esc] at the SuSE boot screen and then (where it says "Linux" at the bottom add [space] & a "3" then hit [Enter] ... hope that helps :-) J. James C.

Please respond to "doc" I am having difficulty figuring out how to break out of the SuSE 8.0 install into a command line so that I may try to force it to recognize my mouse. I get to the x install screen where there are selections for Linux, Linux Safe, Windows, and something else. There is a "Text Mode" option at the bottom but I think I tried that together with Linux Safe and still remained inside the YaST x mode. Help, please?
