Sorry, but I don't have hours to spend on a search and find mission, so
I think I'll just go with what I know will work and move on to that

Good.
John, that's not nice. The poor devil probably doesn't have the
experience to just text install as a proper fall-back. For novices it
might be a scary thing. Panic sets in where there should be none.
Sometimes a little empathy goes a long ways, especially coming from a
professional such as yourself. I'm sure you know that, I'm just
reminding you that it appears to be on the unnecessarily rude side. Ric
Also the text installer is not up to par when I last tried a text
install. Passing xserver=vesa or some additional parameter to boot with
a specific driver is probably best. Though starting with a prompt to do
this is not as obvious as it was before the menu selections were added
to the menu which to me add additional confusion. adding linux
xserver=vesa with the command line apparent as in the past was easier
and less confusing in my view.
