Um, that's really no nice thing. You could try filing a bug or the like. |
7 |
Better yet: search the forums and existing bugs, probably someone has |
8 |
encountered similar issues. It is rather strange that the installer even |
9 |
loads the GLcore... but yes, probably for showing off with the live CD. |
10 |
I have never used it, but maybe you could read the manuals and try |
11 |
disabling this. I don't know whether or not this is supported. |

You could still try to insert the Minimal CD in your current system, |
20 |
then edit the xorg.conf. Or just proceed with the install with it, |
21 |
although this could still leave your system in a strange state. Probably |
22 |
--sync-ing and -DuvaN-ing world after adjusting make.conf could suffice |
23 |
for the task. Re-emerging -Du xorg-server could also help. |

Actually Minimal Install is using stage3 by now and that's the only |
31 |
supported one. It's really quite unproblematic to get a working system |
32 |
within not more than an hour (of your work) and a day's work (by the |
33 |
computer ;) ) |
34 |
|
35 |
But then again, I'm afraid I'm totally unfamiliar with the graphical |
36 |
installer and just guessing :). |
