tc-install-GUI failed in waitforX

[PDP-8]

Not a big deal, but mostly to point out my own error ...

Booted TCpure64 from a burned CD and did a frugal install to a hard drive.

The first thing I did with the CD was to get online, and download and install the tc-install-GUI.tcz extension.  Proceeded to install to hd, no problem.

BUT, I forgot to add a VGA=xxx to be appended to the boot line.

After reboot, ended up at the commandline with "failed in waitforX".

The fix was simple:  I just edited my /mnt/sda1/tce/boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf file, and appended vga=791 (which was ok for me, use your own values to suit your monitor) to the boot stanza.  Upon reboot, bingo!

Not a big deal, just op error here by not supplying it during install...

Hi
I think the VGA= bootcode is entirely dependent on the driver in use, right?

Yup!  Just showing how too little sleep, too much energy drink, and blindly clicking through things doesn't always end up with a workable system.

Fortunately, in TC, I've found the fixes for such blunders usually pretty easy with an edit or two....
