Greetings everyone,

I have an Internet pen-pal who I'm trying to ween away from M$.  He has
purchased a copy of Caldera Linux (don't know what version) but it has a
problem.  Caldera uses the Redhat style X based install and he has a weird
video adaptor (one of those awful Intel 82810 on-the-motherboard thingies)
so the install bombs out fairly early.  He has the RPM from Intel for the
video adaptor, but without a functioning install there is no real way to
use it.

Is there a way to turn off the X based install and do a text install like
Slackware?  Once he has a text base system up and running he can install
the RPM and work on getting X up.
