Re: Issues with HP mini and F27 Workstation

[Owen Taylor]

adding 'systemd.unit=multi-user.target' (*) to the kernel command actually
happens before you get to the gdm screen - it happens at an early stage
before the Fedora kernel is even loaded. See:

(*) for historical, but rather convenient reasons, you can just add '3' to
the kernel command line rather than that, and it will mean the same thing.
