Yep, when the grub splash screen is displayed press any key.

Select the Linux boot choice and press the 'e' key

Select the line that begins with something like 'kernel /vmlinuz' and press the 'e' key again.

At the end of the line add a space followed by the number (3) three.

When done press the 'Enter' key followed by the 'b' key

Now the fun part, it may take a few attempts to accomplish, carefully watch the screen as the system boots and be ready to press the 'i' key as soon as you see that you can (Interactive setup). Answer yes (the 'y' key) to everything execpt pcmcia (answer no here by pressing the 'n' key) and maybe kudzu. After the system finishes booting log on as root and do something like;

chkconfig --levels 345 pcmcia off
chkconfig --levels 345 kudzu off (this line is optional)

When done type in; init 5

After the GUI logon screen appears go back to the console by pressing the three key combo of Crtl+Alt+F1 and log out as root. Press the three key combo of Ctrl+Alt+F7 to get back to the GUI logon screen.
