binary graphics drivers

[Ulas Sunar]

I am really having problem with ubuntu cd instal on new dell e510.
I installed the same cd on laptop and old dell and no problem, I loved
ubuntu, still learning. I bought new dell now and tried to install,
but both live cd or install cd not working. Any help really really
appreciated.
Thanks!
