Fresh Install

[sbooder]

Hi All,
I am having problems installing ati-driver-installer-8-11-x86.x86_64.run in 8.10 and wondered if installing 8.10 from the live cd rather than the upgrade I have from 8.04 would make a difference.

I have 3 boot set up of Vista, XP PRo and Ubuntu, but do not want to damage the first 2.

Could someone tall me the best way to uninstall Ubuntu 8.10 so I can load 8.10 again on the same directory.

Thanks for any help.

I thought I had better say what the error is when trying to load the ATI driver.

I first use the following


/usr/share/ati
then

sh ./fglrx-uninstall.sh

then I put

sudo sh ./ati-driver-installer-8-11-x86.x86_64.run

choose the Automatic option in the install programe, and have tried using custom too.

and I get the following error every time.


booder@booder-desktop:~$ sudo sh ./ati-driver-installer-8-11-x86.x86_64.run

Created directory fglrx-install.A14427

Verifying archive integrity... All good.
