Comment 3 Morgan Leijström 2020-11-30 00:52:04 CET
Still valid network install, nonfree x86_64 and i586 fetched last hour.

Alt-F4 do absolutely nothing; whatever is shown before, screen do not update at all.

I found no method to edit kernel command line...?

I read https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v5.7/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.html
I intended to remove "silent" and add "loglevel=6"

"some loglevel commands" (plural) - what other options do you suggest?
