Happy New Year Greetings Axalon:
Just sent this to a member of my local linux users group. Been working
many hours trying to do this!
Hi alan:
Thanks for your private reply.
I tried what you suggested and RedHat still loads Gnome (which is
beginning to grow on me).
This is the sequence that I used.
1. Downl. boot-RHEA-1999_044 from:
http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/RHEA1999045-01.html
2. rawrite the image file to a flop.
3. bios priority a: first
4. left the boot flop. in a: and cd in cdrom and ctrl-alt-del
5. linux boots, I enter: 'text' then hit enter ((even though the RedHat
site says: linux updates (install stops))
6. Gnome comes up.
>From the site:
When booting into the anaconda installation program, type "linux
updates"
at the boot prompt, followed by any other installation options
which are
required (such as "expert" or "text"). The installation process
will prompt
you to insert the updates disk when it is required, and the
install will then
proceed as normal.
That does not work. inputing "linux updates" stops the install and
there are no prompt for "text" or "expert"! Unless you enter "text"
first, then you will get gnome.
I remember earlier in text installs (I've been working on it almost half
a day) I remember seeing: insert update disk or something like that, but
I can't seem to recreate the sequence. I'm going to try a straight
install from cd again to see if it comes up. I'm pretty sure I've done
all the sequences, but I still could be missing something.
I'll keep you posted
Chris W.
Happy New Year.
