hope you can help me, too:
i'd like to boot my suse8.1 in text-mode, so neither GRUB nor the system-boot should be displayed in graphical mode. any idea how to do?
many thanks in advance!
Give the vga=normal command at the boot prompt...
I am not sure about GRUB, but you can disable the rest of the graphical mode stuff by editing /etc/sysconfig/bootsplash (via yast2 or manually, either way works). Set spash, 'no'. If you want /all/ text you can change the boot init from 5 to 3. Changing the boot init can be done by editing /etc/inittab and setting the default init to '3', or it can be modified in yast2 under runlevel config -jeric -- JericAtSbcglobalDotNetwork 10:50am up 15 days, 2:39, 7 users, load average: 0.24, 0.07, 0.02
