I'm wanting my Centos 4.0 box to boot up into TEXT mode, like all of my other Linux servers do. Unfortunately, it only boots into graphics mode and there's some issue with the keyboard (it controls the mouse, very poorly). I can SSH into the box so I can re-config it.. But just don't know where to look in this new version. I tried GRUB.CONF and even the SYSTEM_CONFIG programs.. No luck. Thanks. Scott

Make the default runlevel 3 instead of 5. E.g., id:3:initdefault: -- Paul Heinlein <> heinlein at madboa.com <> www.madboa.com

You should be good to go from there. Hope this helps, Phil
