Comment 3 for bug 517579

Hello Charlie Kravetz,

The USB memory stick is 4 Gb. It may be worth mentioning that I have also had trouble with an NVIDIA driver on my desktop machine. This was with Ubuntu 8.10 and the driver was an earlier one. I can't remember which one but I thilk it was 176 (the one before the currently recommended one) What happened was that after installing the driver and re-booting I lost the desktop completely and being totally new to Linux at the time I had to re-install Ubuntu as I didn't know anything about configuration files or how to edit them. I mention this because the motherboard on my desktop machine is also made by Asus; perhaps there is some incompatibility between Asus, NVIDIA and Linux
