Installing Ubuntu 7.10 on a HP Pavilion dv2620ca

Wow, Windows Vista is ... confusing. A lot of stuff popup and gizmo's are on the right. Saving the Internet from popups but every time I execute a program there is a popup anyway. There is an old clock to the right... why would I want a clock there? I have the time on the task bar... anyway, let's whipe this and try Ubuntu. Just in case, if you decide to do the same thing, burn those recovery disks firsts :)

Let's put AMD64 Ubuntu 7.10 disk in it.

It boots, but that's about it. When the graphic interface wants to load, it can't detect my video card. There is a NVIDIA GeForce Go 7150M (UMA) in there. Let's try to choose nvidia... no luck. I'll update this post went answers will be available.

J'utilise Ubuntu pour AMD64,

J'utilise Ubuntu pour AMD64, mais si c'était à refaire, je prendrais plutôt la version 32 bits. Pourquoi? Parce que certaines applications ne sont pas compilées en version 64 bit. Notamment le plugin Flash pour Firefox. En tout cas, à moins que ça ait changé dans le dernier mois!
