Alternative instalation question

[mrpenguin]

I want to install ubuntu 10.10 on a desktop that will use my tv as a screen, the problem is that during installation I can not see the entire screen, the parts where I click to go to the next screen is not visible.

I dont have a normal desktop screen, I use a laptop

I have tried changing the vga ratio on my tv but it dont make a difference.

The only way to fix is is from ubuntu itself once its installed

I read I can use a text based installer called Alternative installer
my question is : once its installed is there any difference between the normal installer and the alternative ?

No. None whatsoever.
