Unreadable text on 4K monitor for 18.04 server install
I am trying to install 18.04 (server) on a machine hooked up to a 4k monitor (acer cb281hk). Once the installer starts, the text on the menus is too small to be readable. I have tried a number of command line options, but obviously I am doing something wrong. Any thoughts on how to ramp down the display resolution during installation?
thanks
