Binary package hint: yelp

I started with a new blank Hard Disk WD 500GB.   All was ok until I get
to the end.  I rebooted the new system ok, but the graphics were poor
because the Nvidia driver needed installing (my motherboard has built-in
Nvidia graphics).   I installed the Nvidia driver (recommended version)
from System>Admin.   The screen then went blank.  A small window
appeared in the blank screen which stated OUT OF RANGE.   81.1 KHz / 65
Hz.   I was then in a catch 22 position:  I couldn't get into the system
to change the settings to be suitable for the limitations of my display.
I tried the whole installation again, with the same result.    My
solution was to start again and install Ubuntu 9.04.  So at present I do
not have Ubuntu 9.10 on this computer, though presumably I could now
upgrade to Ubuntu 9.10.  My display is LG Flatron W2242S.

On my other computer, which also has on-board Nvidia graphics, but has a
Fujitsu display, I did an upgrade rather than a clean install, and that
worked ok.
