Haven't been having luck with a new Dell Precision
T5500n (2 x dualcore
"E5503" and 12 GB RAM).
The problem seems to be the ATI FirePro V7800 card.
I can install Ubuntu Natty on it no problem.
However, when I try to load the preconfigured Trinity/Maverick disc, I get
the little "keyboard = human" screen and can escape to the menu, but when
I
try to "try Kubuntu without installing" I get the Kubuntu logo with the
progress dots ... then nothing.
In fact, nothing with the monitor icon indicating that the display lost
the
signal.
Can I install the Trinity packages onto an Ubuntu Natty installation
instead?

You can install the beta test packages from the nightly builds for Natty.
At this point they are fairly stable, but if you do run into problems
please ask here or file a bug report.
I suggest you start with a default Ubuntu (not Kubuntu) installation. Add
these four lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list file:
deb
http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-nightly-build-de…
natty main
deb-src
http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-nightly-build-de…
natty main
deb
http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-nightly-builds/u…
natty main
deb-src
http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-nightly-builds/u…
natty main
The, from a terminal, execute:
sudo apt-get update
sudo passwd
<enter a temporary root password>
sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop-trinity
sudo passwd -l
