Não estou conseguindo fazer a instalação, aparece o seguinte erro:
ERROR: The Nouveau kernel driver is currently in use by your system. This
driver is incompatible with the NVIDIA driver, and must be disabled
before proceeding. Please consult the NVIDIA driver README and your
Linux distribution's documentation for details on how to correctly
disable the Nouveau kernel driver.
WARNING: The modprobe configuration file to disable Nouveau,
/etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-installer-disable-nouveau.conf, is already
present. Please be sure you have rebooted your system since that file
was written. If you have rebooted, then Nouveau may be enabled for
other reasons, such as being included in the system initial ramdisk or
in your X configuration file. Please consult the NVIDIA driver README
and your Linux distribution's documentation for details on how to
correctly disable the Nouveau kernel driver.
ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file
'/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details. You may find suggestions
on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux
driver download page at
www.nvidia.com.

Consegui resolver esse problema no site
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Nouveau"During boot hold down the shift key to get to the grub menu. Press the 'e' key to edit the boot command, and go down to the "kernel" line. Add "nouveau.modeset=0" to the end of the line containing "quiet splash", then press Ctrl+x to boot. Nouveau will be disabled for this boot"
A noticia ruim é que depois da intalação o sistema não entrava nem em modo texo. Solução: voltei pro ubuntu 10.04
