You can also hold the ctrl key down before you get to the boot prompt. When you do ths the words ?"Yast2 runs in text mode" appears at the lower left corner of the screen. This is in The Suse 7.1 Handbook on Page 15. At 09:53 AM 3/15/01 +0100, Lenz Grimmer wrote:

I'm trying to install a system with an ancient, low-grade monitor.

Yes, there is a text-based install. Just enter "manual" at the boot prompt, and there you go. BTW: that should be documented in the FM :)
