I have installed ubuntu 8.10 but every time i try to load i end up at a white screen i think it is where you would usually get the ubuntu logo come up and a loading bar... so its at the final stage.
please help

Hi, search these forums and LinuxQuestions.org for 'white screen of death.'
Most solutions involve reconfiguring X or checking graphic drivers (I have seen nvidia mentioned in a number of white screen threads).
Lots of info on this subject. I am not an expert, unfortunately, or I would just post a solution :)

OK, what sort of hardware are you using?
Did you verify the cd before attempting the install?
Have you successfully run Ubuntu off of a livecd on the hardware in question?
