Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
After booting Ubuntu from the live cd I clicked on the restricted manager icon.
Then I enabled the ATI driver (aka fglrx). It prompted me to reboot but I didn't.
I clicked on the install icon to install Ubuntu.
When the intalled system laucnhed, X could not start.
The xorg.conf file had the fglrx driver configured, but it was not installed.
Two solutions I can think of:
* Disable the restricted-manager when running under ubuquity.
* Carry over the packages installed by restricted-manager into the new installation. (The settings are already migrated, but they're nothing without the packages)

Interesting point. I need some way to extract the list of required packages from restricted-manager in order to fix this.
