Talk:Ubuntu Hardy Installation Guide

packages vs. installer
What is everyone's opinion on the build-packages method versus running the automated installer?

I think we should start having a section explaining the install procedure with the auto-installer to, as begun on this page.

This was the most helpful and concise explanation I found anywhere. It helped me no end. Couple of things though. My system couldn't find a library even though I had it installed. It was only in lib32 and lib64 so I copied a link to the lib folder. This was libGL.so.1.

Importantly, this installed the proprietary drivers but still didn't give me the hardware acceleration I needed. By accident I found that adding Option "TexturedVideo" under the Driver "fglrx" worked perfectly.

Thank you to the author.
