Force Text Setup¶
You can also force installation in text mode if you wish. To do so, highlight the Install Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.0 option and press the tab key. When you do, the following options are revealed on that screen, on one line:
> vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img inst.stage2=hd:LABEL=RHEL-7.0\x20Server.x86_64 quiet
To force installation in text mode, add inst.text to the end of this line.
