How to Set Fedora to enable default entry to text mode
After the installation is successful, Fedora usually enters the graphic mode by default, but the graphic mode occupies a lot of resources. How to change it to the text mode by default, the general answer for searching online is: Modify the/etc/inittab file: [plain] vi/etc/inittab.
Find out entry that read as follows:
Id: 5: initdefault:
Set the default runlevel to 3 (text mode)
Id: 3: initdefault:
Save and close the file
Reboot
The inittab file is used for configuration in versions earlier than Fedora 15 (excluding 15), but the/etc/inittab file is no longer used in Fedora 15 or later versions, if you use vi, the following result is displayed:
In fact, the/etc/inittab file clearly describes the meaning:
# Ln-s/lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target/etc/systemd/system/default.tar get # text mode
# Ln-s/lib/systemd/system/graphical.tar get/etc/systemd/system/default.tar get # graphic mode
However, if you enter this command, you will be prompted that the file already exists because the default.tar get file already exists in the/etc/systemd/system/directory, you need to add the-f option to the ln command to force the write, that is, the following:
# Ln-sf/lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target/etc/systemd/system/default.tar get # text mode
# Ln-sf/lib/systemd/system/graphical.tar get/etc/systemd/system/default.tar get # graphic mode
If you continue to search for Fedora 15 and later versions, you will get a more detailed description in the Fedora Project Wiki document:
Run [plain] # rm/etc/systemd/system/default.tar get
# Ln-sf/lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target/etc/systemd/system/default.tar get reboot into the system to enter the text mode. Pai_^
