Though most computers will allow you to install Red Hat Linux in the default mode (graphical), there are times when your video card may not support that mode. Also, though the install process will detect most computer hardware, there may be times when your hard disk, Ethernet card, or other critical hardware cannot be detected and require special information at boot time.
Here is a list of different installation modes you can use to start the Red Hat Linux install process.
· text: Type text to run installation in a text−based mode. Do this if installation doesn't seem to
recognize your graphics card. The installation screens aren't as pretty, but they work just as well.
· lowres: Type lowres to run installation in low screen resolution for graphics cards that can't support the higher resolution.
· nofb: Type nofb to turn off frame buffer.
· expert: Type expert if you believe that the installation process is not properly auto−probing your hardware. This mode bypasses probing so you can choose your mouse, video memory, and other values that may otherwise be chosen for you.
· linux rescue: The linux rescue mode is not really an installation mode. This mode boots from CD, mounts your hard disk, and lets you access useful utilities to correct problems preventing your Linux system from operating properly.
