    Hello, recently(yesterday) I dual booted with ubuntu. well, I don't have ethernet/wireless internet but I do have alltel access. I was wondering if it was possible(if someone can send them to me maybe) to install the ATI 3D driver & w32 codecs?

    Nevermind I found it.
    I opened a VM in virtual box & used the ubuntu live cd on it.
    then I went to add/remove & found the driver.
    After that I applied the changes & copied the name of the packages it used.
    So now I have it up & working!
