Hi fellows,
Pretty new to CentOS. I was trying to find a way to boot CentOS into command prompt instead of GUI (or without loading any services). Tried using 'Crl+Alt+F1' at the boot process, but, that holds the screen at mounting and doing fstab and doesn't proceed further. Is there anyother way to boot CentOS into command prompt without using Rescue option from the installation CD?
When the grub screen showing which OS it will boot in X seconds comes up, type <space>, edit the boot line and add a " 3" (with the space but without the quotes) to the end of the line, and it will come up at level 3 (no GUI).
