My experience installing 10.04 does not support this claim, Alan. In my
case, on a system with on-board nVidia graphics, X not only failed to
start, the monitor went to sleep after claiming "No input". Fortunately
for me, I still had a working WinXP available, and I was able to learn
that this was a known issue, and the solution was to select "nomodeset"
from F6 before commencing installation. I must say, though, that I was
very pleased with the Maverick installer. Not only is this the first
release since 9.04 that has actually got my wifi working straight away,
but the INSTALLER actually found the wifi and downloaded updates on the
fly! Made me very happy! Now if I can just get the sound to work the way
I want it to...
