This is intentional. Intential why? I could see if a use selects a desktop install then certainly not show the selection. However, for a server install like I inticated I think it is perfectly reasonable to install X compenents but not wanting to boot into X by default. Is something wrong with my logic there? For one thing, all X configuration is now done post-install, so there's not a logical place to put such a switch. The thinking is also that if you're installing a server, you'll have to configure the service afterwards anyway and so if you really don't want to boot into runlevel 5, you'll do it then while you're turning on and configuring the service. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040616 Description of problem: I presently had redhat 9 with at somepoint gave the option of booting in graphical or text mode. (server install). I now grabbed FC3t2 and did an install and this option was not present. I wish to graphically install which it did, select server as my install option, select the X window packages as I may wish to startx manually for some other reason but I want my machine to boot in text mode because I dont what the memory taken up by X when running. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.graphical install of FC3t2 2. Did not see menu option to boot in grpahical mode or text mode 3. Actual Results: Always boots in graphical mode. I know I can edit the /etc/inittab file but the install time selection was really nice. Additional info:
