Hi everyone,

Although I am not a programmer or a computer administrator, I am
familiar with Linux and Ubuntu.  I am currently running Ubuntu on 3 of
my computers. 

Right now, I am trying to install Ubuntu 9.04 on another computer and it
is giving me a lot of trouble.  The computer boots from the install
cdrom like normal.  Then, I select install and it will start the process
and then it will hang on me.  I have tried installing Debian; with
Debian it did almost the whole install and then hung when it tried to
install the graphics driver.  

The computer has a Quadro FX 3000 graphics card.  I believe that this is
the cause of my problems.  On the hello screen that is loaded from the
installation disk there is a F4 option: "Use driver update disk".  How
do I make this disk for my graphics card and how do I use it for the
installation process?

Thanks in advance for your replies. - MatthewMPP
