[linux-help] keyboard-mouse problem

[Marc Bachman <mbachman@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I need to stop the boot procedure somehow before it gets to the
graphical login so I can try to edit my XF86 file to try and make my
keyboard and/or mouse work. How can I get to a shell prompt from the
first boot prompt? I have two big thick books on Linux and this is in
neither one. Is there a boot option that will boot me into text mode and
not the graphical login?
