Hi Andreas,

Please see my reply to Larry Finger I posted a minute or so ago where I

Hi Larry,

Sorry for the delay in responding (I've been fooling around with Fedora 
16 and Kubuntu Oneiric, both of which work perfectly with my hardware 
and not only do the Live versions work but each installs perfectly "out 
of the box" - Kubuntu, in fact, provided me with my 1920x1080p 
resolution on the monitor without the need for the "real" nVidia driver).

I note that the Release Notes for Milestone #3 now contain the warning 
that "nomodeset" may need to be added to the kernel command line before 
the Live CD will actually do something.

A few minutes ago I went to start an account on Novell's Bugzilla but 
found that the details which I must provide would not be provided to an 
encrypted site - and I am not about to send all my personal details over 
a channel which is not secure.
