This is a followup to 682639c107908426fe6bf0a1b8404b98b7820290, which
added the uvesafb upfront, before welcome page had been displayed.

* gnu/installer/newt/welcome.scm (check-hardware-support): New
procedure.
(run-welcome-page): Use it.

 This may be a false alarm, but possibly your graphics hardware does not

 You will be guided through a graphical installation program.
 
 If you are familiar with GNU/Linux and you want tight control over \
