Re: [LUG] Problems while trying to install ubuntu on laptop

 

hey guys

i cant get in now i press f6 and space and it just boots normally.

i heard there is a way to install the offical drivers via ttl1
(control + f1) is there a way to get to that during boot.

also i found a disk with ubuntu 10.10 is it worth installing that then
updating up to latest (more hassle but could work)
