I admit that *might* be what he intended, but he didn't say that, and it 
isn't really clear from his post:

If you edit grub.conf, take off the "rhgb", then when you boot, you'll 
see all the details, without having to click on anything.   If he 
installed the graphical boot without really realizing what it would do, 
then he would have no way of knowing that the text-only boot was also 
available.  Especially, as it seems, he may not have had prior 
experience with a Red Hat boot....
