From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hey there, As per title while in Advanced mode prior the step "Install Base System" I cannot access the terminal. Instead, it goes straight to install.

It did work before...did I somehow corrupt the iso..?

What exactly happens when you try to switch ttys? Literally nothing likely means you're on tty2 already, and should try going to the 3rd one, and do on. If you're getting a new installer session, they may've made it autostart on all ttys, but I don't see the point in that

It went to installing the base system...the next step after the key combo. I quit that and installed Fedora instead...
