Thread: Basic only installation of 10.04.2 Server on RAID1

i trying install ubuntu 10.04.2 server basic (command line only) on 2 sata 500gb hd's while using installer configure 2 hd's software raid1 (all @ install). searched net , found site recommending use alternate install cd access additional raid configuration options.

used alternate cd , able set system, not give options forgo installation of desktop environment. there alternate cd server or option install desktop environ.

there way uninstall desktop have command line interface?

i found solution boot text mode in instead of booting gui. found here:

http://andrew.org/index.php/archives...-in-text-mode/

1. open following in text editor (i used nano) root:

code:

$ sudo nano /etc/default/grub

2. find following line :

code:

grub_cmdline_linux_default="quiet splash"

3. , change to:

code:

grub_cmdline_linux_default="quiet splash text"

4. if want change text resolution (set use smaller font size) uncomment following line , change resolution preferred resolution (make sure video card , monitor can support new res):

code:

grub_gfxmode=640x480

to - example 1024x768

code:

grub_gfxmode=1024x768

5. save file , exit, update grub (run root):

code:

$ sudo update-grub

regarding alternate installation cd seems odd cd have of extended options raid configuration not provide option install basic server. think server installation more pat choice more detailed raid installation along additional options install or not install add on or gui environments.

thought - have saved me lot of lost time.
