I can NOT use CTRL/ALT/F1 to get to the basic console. I have noticed that in the last 2 systems I have built & installed linux on that this was the standard installation with xwindows. This function is disabled. I had to edit some file in /etc/ X11 or Xorg to get this to work. Its been a couple of years & I forgot what I had to edit & where it was. Sorry for the confusion. Not a rookie, just don't do this often. Thanks
