I have been meaning for a year now to install linux.
A friend got me the dvd of ubuntu 8.04(?).
Well, I have windows xp installed on the larger of my two hdds. So, I thought that I could pop in the dvd and boot off of it and install ubuntu onto my smaller hdd (Western Digital 74gb Raptor). Well, I had some problems even trying to do the option where I can view what linux is without actually installing. The problem I got was: "Video mode not supported." I was told by my friend to go dl the latest drivers for my nVidia 6800. So, I did but to no avail. Well, I also kubuntu 7.10, but I got the same error when I tried that.
Any advice on what to do and where to go from here?
