[Bug 831752] Re: Command-line Install on Minimal CD tries to boot graphically

[Phillip Susi]

It seems that this is caused by the splash+vt.handoff boot options.
Apparently they are on by default, and the server cd uses a preseed to
shut it off.  The mini iso it seems does not do this.  I discussed it in
#ubuntu-devel, and there seemed to be consensus that either the option
should default to off, and if you install one of the -desktop packages,
it switch it on, or more likely, the vt.handoff machinery just needs
ripped out and we run X.org on tty1 to avoid screen flicker like other
distributions do.
