Thanks for the clarification. I'll have to keep an eye on the fedora-devel-list. Using a kernel framebuffer is a great idea for working with a minimized X Windows environment. Good thing the 'nomodeset' option is there, otherwise newbies may have a tough time understanding kernel/video options to make the new concept work. But as you say it's nothing new. There are some troubleshooting utilities that use a few floppies to start a windows/gui environment and they work fine. ~af -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
