Boot Options
The way NeoLinux is loaded and displayed can be changed at boot
time by pressing the Esc key within two seconds after you have
powered-on or rebooted the thin client. A Boot menu will be dis-
played allowing you to select one of four options:
• NeoLinux - will run NeoLinux as normal.
• NeoLinux Safe VGA - will run NeoLinux using a generic video
driver (VESA). This is useful when an incorrect display resolu-
tion has been set and you need to reconfigure the system.
• NeoLinux Console Only - will run NeoLinux without the graph-
ical interface. The user will be prompted to enter their user name
and password. Use root and your security password.
• NeoLinux Debug - will run NeoLinux with messages during the
boot process.
Use the Up and Down cursor keys to select the option your require
then press Enter. Depending on the option you select, you may have
further options that require keyboard input. The screen will display
instructions on how to proceed.
