I have a question. My friend recently installed Fedora Core 1 on his linux box and he has a graphical boot process. I can't seem to get my Fedora to do that. Please help!
Thanks, Josh

It isn't installed on an upgrade. You need to install the rhgb package and append rhgb to your boot line in grub.

How do I append it do my boot line in grub? I've installed the package now, though.

Edit the file /boot/grub/grub.conf On the kernel line append this to the end of it rhgb
Like so...
title Fedora Core (2.4.22-1.2135.nptl) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2135.nptl ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi rhgb initrd /initrd-2.4.22-1.2135.nptl.img
"Please note that the lines may wrap, the kernel line is ONE line"

Add a "quiet" after "rhgb" and it'll look even nicer during boot-up... (less kernel debug messages...)

I recently switched monitors because my "good" monitor fried itself. I sort of downgraded to a backup. The resolution that I had set on my "good" monitor isn't supported by my old monitor and I had no way of changing the resolution. How can I run the configurator in NON GUI to fix this? I don't know how to get to a command line... :-\ My fedora goes to a GUI login. What do I do to get a command line and how do I fix my resolution?

Do : ctrl-alt- F1 oor F2 to switch to a text console .
Login and either run: redhat-config-xfree86 to create a new XF86Config
or : vi /etc/X11/XF86Config , search the monitor section and change resolution (Do this only if you know the h/v sync values for your monitor.
Alternatively: at bootprompt: init=/bin/bash
will drop you to a single user root shell from which you can edit the XF86Config
hope this helps,
