'After which you should see the safe graphic mode' Hi Agostino Thanks for your responses and comments, and I quite understand about priorities, no problem.
For the record though: it is not true that a 'Safe Graphics' mode is available as you suggest, it is a 'Recovery' mode, and leads to a Recovery Menu with choices of Resume normal boot, Drop to root shell prompt, or, Try to fix xserver xfix (auto configures again). These are useful more perhaps to experienced users than beginners. In fact it looks like the usual Recovery mode which is available also via grub in 8.04 installed systems. I also tested this in a windows only machine, after wubi install. (The machine is XP originally installed in FAT32 then converted to NTFS, if that makes any difference), then wubi. No grub in the machine. The Recovery Mode is not the same as an up front, low graphics choice which for example is one of the usual options when running a Live Cd. For the 8.04 Live Cd it is (after initial boot) F4 and choose 'Safe Graphics' mode. The reason why I am so interested is that - WUBI is a totally brilliant facility! - I personally will be demonstrating the wubi facility locally on many occasions and it is quite possible that users will initially choose a spare machine to test. I did exactly this, and because of the particular machine's varied history (flat screen upgrade and PCI graphics card random choice), it does not work for wubi, however it does work for a live CD with Safe Graphics (vesa) chosen. I can live without the perfection :-) and it is good to have noted the situation.
