Thanks MaNean, I think I tried something like this but ran into
a difficulty but will pursue it further.
Sorry about the time on the previous post, hopefully it has been
fixed ;)

Just use the install restricted driver through Ubuntu,

, one should have recommended next to it, oh wait this is for 8.10, um 8.04
should be similiar, something like restricted drivers or something in the
same place.

Hi,
I have just installed Ubuntu 8.04.1 AMD64 and I want to install
the appropriate NVIDIA driver. The install program tells me
to turn off the X server but it is not clear to me how to do
this on Ubuntu. Whatever I do either returns me to the log in
or shuts off the machine. Is there a straight forward way to
do this?
Thanks.
Tom
