[reflex99]

none are really that great for gaming, wine works sometimes but not always

also you'd probably get more responses in "Tech Help"

What distro are you trying to install?

What distro are you trying to install?

i tried mint then i tried kubuntu and got the same problem so i know its on my end

There should be an option to do a text-based install (where all the menus look like something from DOS) circumventing the generic graphics drivers until the real ones can be installed.

ya try the text based install and personally i wouldn't go with kubuntu if you want a kde based linux you should try for suse 11.2 when it comes out and if not the most beginner friendley would be linux mint or ubuntu which are almost the same thing.

Side note. To do that with kubuntu/ubuntu you may need to download the DVD or the "alternate" version offered on the download page.
