installations that is replacing preupgrade and the DVD methods of upgrading that have been

console=ttyS0,115200n8</command></screen>

- You can access the debug shell by switching to VT2 (ctl-alt-F2). Note that you
won't be able to access the debug shell until after the upgrade process has started,
so you'll want to wait a minute or two before switching.
- </para>

- <screen><command>dracut#</command></screen>

currently running shell (another will start up right afterwards) so that you can access
all the binaries present in the initramfs.

hardware a fully fledged X.org driver has historically still been required to manage it.
Fedora 18 introduces <function>Kernel Mode Setting (KMS)</function> drivers
which provide enhanced support for the GPUs commonly found in servers. Users of these GPUs
are now able to utilize the additional features provided by KMS drivers, including
enhanced graphics in virtual consoles. Chipsets supported by these new KMS drivers include

provide better support for USB connected graphics devices exposed by many modern systems

for such devices to be recognised.
