Hello, I can't install either ubuntu 10.10 desktop or netbook in HP Pavilion dv6000 laptop.

This is all it displays:

is it a fresh installation or an dist-upgrade ?

It is a fresh installation. I booted using nomodeset and was able to fully install. Unfortunately, after the first reboot, the desktop display was as messed up as the original installation screen (like the image I showed when describing the problem).

I was able to make it work by installing the Additional Drivers (NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version current)[recommended]). I did this by randomly clicking the screen until I selected the item I wanted (e.g. clicked on Additional Drivers and Activate). Then rebooted, and now it looks great.
