Subject: [pve-devel] [PATCH docs v2] installation: reword `nomodeset` section a bit, add link to it
Date: Mon, 26 Feb 2024 18:59:55 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240226180044.1406827-1-c.heiss@proxmox.com> (raw)
The `nomodeset` section needs some massaging due to the text flow being
broken a bit. While at it, link to it above at the 'Terminal UI'
bootloader tip such that readers can find it more easily.
Suggested-by: Alexander Zeidler <a.zeidler@proxmox.com>

Changes v1 -> v2:
