Tried both Ctrl+C and Ctrl+Z... saw in the > installer after dropping to boot prompt, that you can do like `userconf > disable nouveau0` Both, I suppose, if you need it. If you have trouble already with the installer image, then you'd have to drop to the boot prompt when you see the countdown. I don't have the details exactly in my head, but I think it's something like a countdown, where you have to press any key to interrupt, and then you can choose an item from the boot menu. One of them should be to drop to the boot prompt. For the installer it would be a bit tricky to change the /boot.cfg file (not impossible, but if you're just getting started with all this then it's probably too much). So there the boot prompt would be the place to try out userconf settings. For the installed system, it would be tedious to keep doing this every time you boot. Fortunately once you have a running system it's easy to edit /boot.cfg and add one or more lines. The installer should have a shell option, in e: Utility menu -> a: Run /bin/sh. -Olaf. -- ___ "Buying carbon credits is a bit like a serial killer paying someone else to \X/ have kids to make his activity cost neutral." -The BOFH falu.nl@rhialto
