Im still stuck on this. I got RH to boot in to text mode and managed to get the vmware tools package to run but its giving me errors when compiling the kernal. I need to get a C compiler installed apparently... has anyone been through this?

I have RH9 installed on my system, and i'm a bit of a noob as well, but, how did you get RH9 to boot straight into text mode? I've been looking around for this for a LONG time, and I couldn't find anything....please help...

Split from previous thread as it was in no way related to the issue of the originating thread

Search around the board, but the skinny:

Edit, as root, /etc/inittab, locate the line:
id:5:initdefault:

And change the 5 to a 3, save and exit.

Cool
