Comment 51 for bug 1080674

Don't go complaining to me.. they marked it as won't fix... all I do is
tell people the workaroud,,,, it was, and still an WTF moment that they
will refuse to even look at the issue --- but there you go... a couple of
extra steps... choose 'extra' switch the video mode to SVGA. click on 'OK
(or what ever it is) and then click on start installation (top left)

Regards,

Phill.
