Public bug reported:

Given that the most commonly recommended video card for running myth is
an Nvidia, and that computers with Nvidia graphics can't boot without
the nomodeset option (at least they haven't for me), it would be a good
idea for the mythbuntu install disk to use the nomodeset boot option by
default, and (at least if the computer being installed to has Nvidia
graphics) also include nomodeset in the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT
variable in the /etc/default/grub file in the target system being
installed.  This would save a lot of head scratching for novices.
