Used on the Amiga, back in the 1990s, and probably on even older BBS mailing software. But it needs mailing clients that understand it, to stop that recursive crap that happened above, and other author's initials being inserted in front of the wrong person, because they quoted it but didn't write it. And so that author prefix initials stay on the left, and more > characters are added to the right. e.g. MW>> something ... PS> something next... When it works, it really helps with following multi-generational email, especially amongst clods who damn well will not edit out unnecessary quoted crap bloating each and every damn mail they send to the list. But considering the general crapness in email clients at just basic quoting (with bad wrapping, no wrapping, then broken wrapping), and quote prefixes with messy spaces in between some > symbols, I just don't see this working. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.

If the problem with the installer is about the graphics, did you try the basic graphics mode? It is available under the troubleshooting option in the boot menu I think. You could start try text mode, just pass 'linux text' to the boot options (hitting tab allows you to do that). Hope this helps, -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
