Rebooting without nomodeset did the trick.
How do I make that permanent?
Any idea why I got a permission denied error?
Now I just need to move /var and /home to partitions.
'Tis done.
It seems to work, but gnome's activities mechanism is jerky.
Also 'twould be nice to not have to remove nomodeset by hand each time.
What file do I edit to make it permanant?
BTW getting rid of nomodeset also worked for
the basic graphics mode of the installer.
Had I known that, I could have saved myself a lot of trouble.
Thanks much.
My recollection is that I had a much harder time installing F33.
