Hi Andor,

Tony's e-mail earlier today on the developers list suggests that I have
managed to make an ISO release that is stuck somewhere between 12.04.1
and 12.04.2 and this is upsetting the drivers for NVidia and probably
other things.  I will try to get this sorted in the next few days.  In
the meantime I'm glad you found a solution.

Cheers,

TIM
