Jim- I have not already upgraded- as my last message said, i got
another strange setting and I am looking to find out what it means
before moving forward. What you explained here is exactly what I
needed to make sure I could get into runlevel 3.  I was not removinf
the "rhgb quiet" and I was just putting the instruction I was told to
on the end of the line.  This is probably why it wasn't working.

Thanks, Once I am ready to move to the next step (and run yum updates)
I will do it this way.

Hal
