A.7. Text Mode RHN Registration Client

If you are not running the X Window System, the RHN Registration Client starts in text mode.

You can force the RHN Registration Client to run in text mode with the command:

      rhn_register --nox

      rhn_register --nox

The screens for the text mode RHN Registration Client are almost identical to the screens for the graphical RHN Registration Client. Some of the text in the text mode version is more concise due to lack of space in the interface. However, there are equal numbers of screens and fields in both versions. Thus, if you are using the text mode version, you can still follow the instructions that begin in Section A.2, “Starting the RHN Registration Client”.
