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
