I'm back from my massive break! Anywho!

I tried the method described on the page you linked, same result as my previous post.

Tried it out, same result.

One day! One day I shall conquer you, oh mighty driver!

So, I ran it in run level 1 as suggested and get this message:

No precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel; would you...

I just tried this, and it advises me to install in run level 3 "telinit 3" because installing in run level 1 may cause problems. I tried it in run level 3 again and it failed. Should I just go ahead...

Sorry it's been such a long time since I've responded. My time was consumed with a project.

Anyways, back to where I left off.

I have downloaded the drivers off of NVIDIA's site, but I'm having...

I received the same error message.

As to why I do not use the system > administrator > hardware drivers utility, it doesn't allow me to activate the driver, even though it's listed. I click...

I'm so close I can taste it...

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanyways, I checked out the xfx site for the drivers.
Here's the site: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_173.08.html

I tried connecting to the internet via ethernet cable and retrying due to the lines:

Alright, I tried out the advice in post #14 of http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1054127&page=2
and I receive an error. Here it is:

I've got class soon, but I'll look it over and let you know of my results as soon as I try. Thanks for the link!

Alright, I'll try to find a cable long enough to run to the router. I'll also take a look around for more broadcom fixes, thanks for the continued help, I appreciate it.

I have 1217 packages listed and 1187 installed.

I attempted the fix I found for the wireless card which I linked a few posts up, it did not work.
edit: I was able to install the .inf file using...

The 5th and bottom box "source code" was unchecked and refused to be checked unless I also checked the option "Cdrom with Ubuntu 8.10 'Intrepid Ibex'" under the "Installable from CD-ROM/DVD" menu. So...

I searched and no results appeared. I tried a quick search, name search, and name + description search on both ndiswrapper and ndiswrapper-utils-1.9.

I just installed Ubuntu 8.10 on a desktop, dualbooting with vista. I had run the LiveCD prior to installation to check for any hardware errors. I noticed the wireless networks weren't listed and I...

Just coming back to note, everything installed perfectly. Just trouble with the video card and wireless, but ill make a sperate thread. Thanks for all your help!!

Well, I'll try to run through what I did so I can figure out where exactly I went wrong. I was running Vista Home premium 64-bit and I put in the Ubuntu Live cd and rebooted. From there I opened...

It's a 750gb drive. I defragmented the drive before resizing the partition with vista on it and creating 3 new partitions in gparted. I hit apply and then it started chugging along. It said 3 hrs...

So, I created 3 new partitions but it seems like it's taking waaaaaaaay too long. It's been going for almost 4 hours now and it lists an estimate of 8 hours remaining. I gave it 100gb to /home, 10gb...

Thanks for the fast responses. I'm currently backing up my info, if I have any trouble with the install or partitioning, I'll let you know.

I've been researching the basics to installing linux for the past few days and after deciding on Ubuntu, I have a few questions.

I've read that it would be wise to install /home on it's own...
