I've run into this error before, and will have a quick look around to see if I can find the fix for the USB installer. Do you still have the old Mint 13 installer lying around? Try that, using the same nomodeset trick, and see if that will get you to the installer. If it does, it may well be easiest to install 13 and immediately dist-upgrade to 14. Fear not, we will get there. Cheers -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
