Hi all,

I  just did a telnet install of Fedora 4.  Everything seemed to go well 
enough.  After the instalation, the system came up to First boot.  I got 
through first boot with sighted assistance; However, I can't access the text 
mode consoles.  If for example, I attempt to do control+alt+f1, I get a pink 
box outlining the edges of my screen and nothing else, no login prompt etc. 
When this happens, the only Thing I can do is reboot with control alt 
delete.  has anyone seen this before and if so, is there a workable 
solution?
this one's going to be fun, kind of like the chicken and the egg--  I don't 
see how I can troubleshoot this without any accessibility, but if I can't 
get to the console mode, I can't install accessibility-- grumble!
