From Gutsys release notes.
Blank screen with some ATI hardware
People with ATI display adapters may get a blank screen when loading X due to the driver being unable to initialize certain hardware. Upstream is working on it, and hopefully we'll be able to release an update for 7.10 soon after the release. In the meantime, add 'Option "LVDSBiosNativeMode" "false"' to the driver section of xorg.conf.Bug #132716

Load the cd, press F2 and use sudo vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

So i complete install and can enter "recovery mode".

Now i need setup network connection in recovery mode for enabling restricted drivers?
You should be able to do that in normal user mode.
