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.
