Server install tips?

[David Demland]

Alan,

When I did my install I had to use the escape when grumb started to boot. At
that I got a screen that asked text mode and that worked for me.

Well, this server install is at a stand still.

The hardware in question has two graphics controllers.  This confuses
installers with only CentOS seeming to handle it well.  When booting the
Kubuntu CD, it trys to fire up X and ends up with the Kubunto logo on
the screen and no other access possible on that screen.  I can
Ctl-Alt-F1 to a terminal and get access that way.  However, I don't know
what commands I can issue to start a non-graphical install.

People in the #ubuntu channel are trying to help but seem to be
knowledge stuck in a GUI only world.  I have not yet found an answer in
the Ubuntu forums or documentation.

How do I do a non-graphical install when booting from a Kubuntu CD?
