Hello,
Well, I am a newbie to Linux so I hope this is the right place to post this request for help.
I cannot install kubuntu or ubuntu because my screen is filled with blinking colors and other garbage during the installation process. I had had ubuntu installed in parallel with Vista 64 bit, which came with this new Gateway PC I just bought, and it worked fine, but then I installed an eVGA GeForce 7900 GS graphics card in Vista 64, which also worked fine, but ubuntu presented me with a similar garbled screen. That's why I downloaded and installed kubuntu, hoping that a new install would somehow recognize the card.
So, how do I do this? I haven't tried the Live CD option presented with the installation menu, but I'll do that next, though I wonder how that could help.
The good news is that kubuntu did not mess with the MBR, so Vista booted okay.
Many thanks.
Michael
