Can't install RemixOS to USB stick on some NVIDIA graphics systems.

I tried to install RemixOS to a USB stick, but got the same blank screen as I previously had gotten when trying to install Linux Mint on my system with an NVIDIA GTX 970 video card. Turns out some newer NVIDIA graphics cards do not have video support until the drivers are actually installed, unlike my previous AMD card.

What I had to do to install Mint was to use recovery mode on the Live CD, then use the "NOMODESET" command for basic video graphics to be able to see the install screens.

Even using "NOMODESET" for the USB install wouldn't help very much for RemixOS since there's no way to install the official NVIDIA graphics drivers after the OS boots like you can in Linux (that I know of).

Is there any workaround? For now, I have to use RemixOS through VirtualBox on my main PC to test and play around with the OS because of this.
