Public bug reported:
I have a 1ghz AMD based laptop with 512mb of ram and the Edgy installer
runs very slowly. So slow in fact that each time you click a button it
takes around 10 minutes for the next screen to come up. I've tried
various solutions such as "noapic nolapic" on boot without success.
On this same laptop the Dapper installer works fine, so its easy to
suspect that something is wrong with the Edgy installer. What would have
made this all moot however would be an option on boot of the installer
cd to do an old style text based installation instead.
So this feature request is to bring back in some form the ability to do
old-school style text based install with the standard install cd. This
would have made my life much easier!
