Yes, but the biggest problem for an isolated user will be getting from a
black boot screen to the starting point. Quoting from Ed:
You can boot and when the kernel selection comes up type "e" and then
add "3" to to linux line and the "control-X"
Or, boot normally and use "control-Alt-F3" to get to a terminal. This
may or may not work for you.
Use lspci and find the line the line for nvidia or use "lspci | grep -i
nvidia"
Thank-you John. I agree.
