This also happened to me. I enabled the "nvidia" drivers from the Feisty Live CD. The subsequent install enabled the "nvidia" driver in my xorg.conf file, but failed to intall the "nvidia" driver itself. This required that I install the nvidia driver from the command line, which made me sad. Here's what happened. Without the nvidia drivers, I can only see 800x600 desktop, which is too small for the installer applet. (The "Next" button often falls under the bottom edge of the desktop.) So I used the "restricted drivers" tools and enabled the "nvidia." The system asked me for a restart, but knowing that doing so with the live CD would be pointless, I simply restarted the Xserver. This worked and I could continue the install at 1024X768, although the "system needs a restart" icon appeared in the system tray. So I continued with the install and all went well, but when I went to start my spankin' new Feisty System, I was greeted with an ugly xorg.conf error. Whee.
