[00:06]<zznmz>Hello, I'm having some graphical trouble with the Anaconda installer
[00:06]<zjwwtn>Raedr, hello
[00:06]<zjwwtn>Raedr, Have you tried text mode?
[00:07]<zznmz>Not yet
[00:07]<nrm>AndyCap, -P seems to work. Alone, it brings up the dialog and with valid profile (-P default) will use that profile.
[00:07]<zznmz>I only see a quarter of the installer on the screen
[00:08]<zznmz>The resolution option has no effect
[00:10]<zznmz>Would text mode allow me to fiddle with partitions and packages as easily?
[00:11]<pnmjzzznm>Raedr: yes you still can edit partitions and package sets.
[00:11]<zznmz>I'll give it a go, thanks
[00:12]<zznmz>It's a short-term solution, though. All the answers to the questions on the forums resulted in "use text-mode" too

[00:15]<jjgrvxrgd>we only answer questions about new telnet
[00:15]<agv2>suppose my customer is connected to inet behind NAT

[00:17]<gnyfvxnznyfmnyf>doesn anyone know where to look?
[00:18]<pnmjzzznm>neilthereildeil: it will do roughly "rpm -U" on all your packages.
