Thanks, tuxmartin! I was able to install Ubuntu 11.04 with a Live USB in
my desktop with a GeForce GT240. First, I created an USB boot drive with
a 512Mb persistant file to install nvidia-current pack (actually, I
think 256Mb would be enough). Then I booted Ubuntu in my laptop (which
doesn't have a GeForce GT240), removed 'xserver-xorg-video-nouveau' pack
and installed 'nvidia-current' pack using synaptic. So I booted the USB
drive (with 'nvidia-current pack' installed) in my desktop with a
GeForce GT240, and Ubuntu started with the Unity interface. So I
proceeded to install Ubuntu in my harddrive. When the system finished
the installation and asked me to reboot, I choosed to run the
recuperation mode in Grub menu. Then I choosed the option to run the
terminal in root mode with network interface, and, finaly, I installed
the 'nvidia-current' pack ('apt-get install nvidia-current'). I rebooted
the system and Ubuntu 11.04 runs fine now with my nvidia GT240!
