How do i boot fedora core 12 from the shell
Good day
Im running fedora core 12 and when i start it goes to the GUI but i would want to start from the shell how do i go about it to redirect it there |
To get a command prompt, press Ctrl + Alt + F1 ( to F6 ) will give you a command line. Same combo + F7 takes you back to the desktop.

If you want to permanently boot in text mode (runlevel 3) you have to edit the file /etc/inittab and change the following (and unique) line by substituting 5 with 3 (see bold number)
Code:
id:3:initdefault: If you want to boot in text mode for one session only, you can pass the runlevel to the boot command line. Still in Fedora 10 (but should be similar in Fedora 12), when the grub menu appears, select the fedora you want to boot and in place of pressing Enter, press "a". You should see a line you can edit, e.g. something like Code:
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.x-x.xxx ro root=LABEL=/ acpi=on rhgb quiet Code:
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.x-x.xxx ro root=LABEL=/ acpi=on rhgb quiet 3 |
