Booting F9 with NO X11

If you prefer to have the system boot without X11, then you might want to
edit the /etc/inittab file so that the default runlevel is 3.  Here's what
the last line of the stock /etc/inittab file on Fedora Core 9 might look
like:

id:3:initdefault:

I believe the default is to boot in runlevel 5.  For machines without
monitors or those without a working X11 setup, runlevel 3 works great.

Once you're able to boot in runlevel 3 successfully, you should be able to
configure X11 by running 'setup' and then selecting 'X configuration'.

I hope this helps,
