I have a computer with a video card that has no Linux support. I discovered this issue while trying to use a persistent usb to boot from.
I found that I can boot like that if I change options and edit so as to add nomodeset
there (see question and answer).
Also, editing the syslinux.cfg file from my live persistent USB and adding nomodeset
in a line there made this setting automatic for booting from the persistent USB.
Can I make a similar edit for proper install from the same live USB?
Is it possible to edit something on the live USB in order to install the SO from it, -- that is: having automatically the nomodeset
setting already there when the installation starts?
My problem is that in order to install I think I already have to have added nomodeset
or I'll see nothing on my display. I need a way to be sure that nomodeset
it's permanent from the start.
