Comment 71 for bug 57153

There is a Catch 22 quality to this suggestion. If you
get gnome working as I did, the presence of "splash"
seems to make no difference when booting (I have taken
splash out of menu.lst). If you want to make the
change before you get gnome back, you need a text
editor that works in the text environment. First, you
must know which one Ubuntu provides and then you must
know how to use it. I have always find things like vi,
vim, and emacs difficult.
