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.
