This seems silly, I should be able to find this in the help docs, but 
cannot. I'm trying to install KRUD/Fedora Core 2on a machine with a 
GeForce2 video card that works great except when it gets to starting the 
X server, then it always exits abnormally. I want to install X, I want 
to probe hardware, but I do not want it to ever try to start X. I can't 
seem to find an option to tell it to not initialize or test X. Is there 
a way in the initial command line to tell it to set the initial runlevel 
to 3, as well as NEVER attempting to start the X server...and still 
allow me to install X? In both text and graphical modes it is not giving 
me this option.
