Mr. Cater - but Andy / Andrew is more normal for me and I'm fine with that :) If you are doing a complete fresh install and want to use Nouveau - just go through the install using the firmware CD/DVD image. The worst that can happen is that it really doesn't work, at which point you need to try a text install as outlined in an answer to your previous message. If you can install using a wired Ethernet connection to start with, always do so, in my opinion, as it makes it easier to know that you have a reliable connection. If you can't -that's why using the firmware DVD is advised. > > So in nutshell, may please the steps be described?

All the very best, as ever, Andy Cater
