I am trying to do a fresh reinstall of 11.10 from cd. I get a garbled screen and can not see the UI. I believe it has something to do with my on-board nvidia card. Is there a way to add the driver to the install cd and have the cd install the driver? If not, how do I get around this problem?? Thanks in advance for your help!
