Hi Ed,

Thanks for your advise.

I am using Grub.  What I need is toggling to text mode at boot when graphic 
mode showing on screen for selecting kernels/OS.  Esc and Tab keys did not 
work.  I want to type  "single linux"  to start single use mode.

How to modify  /etc/grub.conf  to have options for text and graphic mode 
selection at boot/start ?

Thanks in advance.

B.Regards and Merry X'Mas
