fedora 18 is there a text install?

I have a motherboard that I have been unable to install fedora on. I am using a usb
stick to do the install from and when I reach an early point of the install II get a blank screen
with a mode not supported message. I have read a bit on grub2 and tried passing
text which did start but I ended up with a broken system.

The mb is a pico itx from via and after getting it I realized the xorg via video driver doesn'tt
support 3D so no stellarium.

To get the system up I installed the hard drive on my intel desktop system and completed
an install then moved the drive back which worked fine.

I am still baffled by the install issue though and would appreciate any suggestions
to get an regular install to work.
