f19netinst boots but no X-windows, only black text screen

[jackson byers]

OCT10 2013 finally got my f19netinst booting!
This used the .iso in:
menuentry 'Fedora 19 netinst'  {
  linux /vmlinuz-install stage2=hd:/dev/sda9:root/Fedora-19-i386-netinst.iso
  initrd /initrd.img-install
      }

 BUT no X-windows yet.
I am still stuck in that black text-only screen
and I don't knw how to proceed.

I also had/have difficulty in accesing the ctrl-alt-F2 which
seems to be necessary to login.
I often had to hit power button and reboot to be able to login.

so far all I have done is explore what has been installed
by using
 "yum list installed"
or "yum list installed |grep -i xorg"      for example

/tmp is missing .X0-loc
there many xorg, many chrome.

Assuming I can get get X-windows going I would like to switch to xfce.

My experience on installing new fedora versions
is limitad to:
1)hard disk install using the dvd.iso, and  using repo=
2)preupgrade

neither of which left me in text mode,
so I don't have any idea how to proceed here.


Any help much appreciated

Jack
