> I had to test the manual installation method.  The graphical installer does not work on my macbook.  It just flickers on and then off.  Shortly after grub boots into the installer, I briefly see a blue screen, then black, then blue, then black, etc.  I can switch to a virtual console and proceed with the installation that way.  Perhaps, we should try to start the graphical installer only 5 times.  If it fails, then just produce an error message and suggest the user switch to another virtual console and try the manual install.

Perhaps one should restart with mingetty-service if kmscon fails (but
not if installation was restarted by the user).  But I suppose this
was discussed before and I do not know if kmscon can be unloaded.
