I do not understand. When I re-loaded Gutsy and loaded this Hardy
the first time I brought the system up from the hard drive it asked me
if I wanted a non-ubuntu file loaded. I said yes both times and it
loaded the ubuntu version of the good nVidia software. I had a kernel
update on Hardy and it included the necessary kernel driver(s).
