I'm trying to install it but aparently Ubuntu 7.10 doesn't like my 8800GT.
How did you go about trying to install drivers? Did you use the Restricted Drivers application?

Quote:
Download the alternative install cd. It basicly installs in text mode. Then once it is installed, it will start in text mode since your drivers arent installed.
The Alt-CD has options to install a command line system, yes, but also has an option to install the entire OS, only it will do so in a text-based environment.

Unless, you have experience with a command-line style of input, I'd stay away from using such to install x-servers, desktops, etc.
