I have not tried out any live CD versions but expect that you would need 
to boot into runlevel 3 and edit the Xorg.conf file or copy it from 
another media like a USB flash or hard drive before starting X.

I am glad the xdriver=vesa option worked for you to get a normal 
install. Just for information, you can specify different drivers other 
than vesa if proper detection during install is the problem. (ati, 
intel, mga, nv or whatever it may be for your machine.)
