What's an Install Fest?

[Shorter Rankin]

Please pardon a dumb(?) question
from a Linux newbie. What's an
install-fest? I've got Redhat 6.2
running on an IBM TP 600 with
a 4 gig drive all devoted to
Linux. This is just barely
installed and I haven't
recompiled the kernel yet.
Command line stuff works
as expected but X Windows
is just awful. This laptop
will do 1024 x 768  in OS/2
but  I never should have
selected that resolution
for X. The video card
is NeoMagic and as I understand it
SuperProbe has to guess about
it.

Unfortunately I have the machine
configured to start X automagically
on startup. Is there any way to
change that back to a command
line startup - or should I just
delete everything and bring
the laptop to an
'Install Fest'?

TIA,

Shorter Rankin
