Is there a way to start Fedora in the terminal and not with the GUI login screen?
I want to install and NVIDIA driver and X can't be running. I tried switching to the terminal with Alt-F1 and closing X manually but that just restarted Fedora and put me back at the login screen.

ok first, no you cannot use a graphical app in a console ...
second all you have to do is download the nvidia driver ... exit out of X, and just install
it ... and then type startx to test er out ...
type in terminal:
init 3
u will be in console (no X) u can install driver. after installation edit /etc/X11/XF86Config
change the following vga driver name:
Driver "nv"
to:
Driver "nvidia"
if u want fedora to boot in console always, edit /etc/inittab
change the
id:5:initdefault:
to
id:3:initdefault:
