Bug How to start Fedora 11 in command line mode and skip damaged programs ??
Hi All,

Please let me know that how to start Fedora 11 in command line mode and skip damaged programs ??

Scenario being:

I have Fedora 11 ( pretty ole... eh !! ). If I try to start the PC , then after some steps of startup... it just hangs and does not boots. I tried entering the mode in which I can see the programs being loaded ( non GUI startup ), but everything just vanished after launching a few programs, and getting stuck somewhere.

I tried entering into Interactive mode, but even that does not seems to work. It does not accepts the "I" keypress itself.

It would be of great help if you can please let me know that is there any way apart from this, where I can start it all in non GUI > go for an Interactive start ( having discussed the issue ) > pin down to the faulty script.


Thanks in advance !!

You may need to boot a rescue CD or the like.

I'd try a live cd and then get in and read your log files. You could also try chrooting into your environment
