Hi all,
i just installed the 42.2-beta on my new Acer Travelmate B116.
The grub-bootmenu is painted painfully slow (and really ugly (graphical).
In first installation with original HDD i needed nomodeset to install 42.2-beta
correctly (it broke with unreadable letters iprn text mode) so i tried with
nomodeset which worked.
Today i installed it again on a new and sealed ssd and I didnt need
nomodeset-swith in installation-boot-menu (from USB-stick).
I can provide more information as long as you tell me what to do :-)

Greetings,
Christian
