When it does hardware detection during the install process why couldn't it install the driver then and there during the main installation process? So when you get to the desktop, you've got Unity if you have 3D hardware, or Gnome 2 if you don't. </pre> </blockquote> As I said from the getgo. I wanted to run Unity from the CD.....NOT install it. The driver should be on the CD and it isn't. Fred </body> </html>
