No package header when Upgrading Ubuntu

Upgrading Ubuntu 11.04 to 11.10

My ubuntu 11.04 installed with propriety display driver for nvidia. After upgrading it to ubuntuk 11.10, crash...

The display cannot be loaded. Have to reinstall 11.04 then without doing any changes to the display driver
just upgrade to 11.10.

After done upgrading to 11.10 then apply nvidia propriety driver, again the display screwed up.
Dont know why the propriety driver doesnt fit. Maybe my ndivia graphic card is just quite old.

Now, back again installing 11.10 and i dont want to apply the proprietry driver again. (maybe after next driver released)

Display to Big when install Ubuntu 11.04

Have any idea how to decrease the screen resolution when install Ubuntu? I dont know how, but i try Alt + left click mouse to drag move the center window around up down until can click FOWARD button to continue installation until end.

My Monitor Acer AL1511
Machine Netvista

Ubuntu 11.04 hangs at timezone during installation

Try DISCONECTING THE NETWORK (Untick Enable Networking), and wait for a while...for my case i wait about 1 minute...sigh..(patient is everything)
Also the machine is quite old...ahaha..

Then It let me choose the right TimeZone and carry on with the installing process.
After that passed, you can Enable Networking again to the network and run ok.

I found this solution when googling somewhere i didn't remember.
