That's nasty, whoever designed that should be spanked. If the system
doesn't want to work in graphics mode, it should not pretend there's a
graphics capable card there, then syslinux would not use graphics
mode...
I don't think we have plans for a non-splash-enabled CD right now. Maybe
we should make the second cd in a full CD set bootable and make it not
use a splash screen.

debootstrap was broken a few days ago and you got a CD with the broken
debootstrap on it.
