I think I have screwed my Kubuntu partition.Help me recover it!?
All this started when I installed the ATI radeon graphic card driver.After installing the driver,I was asked to reboot.
While booting,the Kubuntu loading screen came up as usual but after that the screen went black!!
It dosen’t even show a cursor to write some commands…..its just….Black 
It tried the "recovery mode" option.It performed some tests and then showed me the command line but i dont know what to type in their……..
I guess its due to the driver…….
Is their any way(I know there is…and you genius Linux users are very good at it)to uninstall the driver through the recovery mode command line?
Thanx .
=================================
Question no.2
I installed wine in ubuntu partition and just wanted to know what it can do…….Do i need to install windows software again in Ubuntu from the CD’s ive got?
Does wine run windows games?If not,then what?
Que.3
Is it posible to burn softwares which r already instaled in Ubntu onto a CD(4 futre use)?
I saved 10 pnts!
I installed the driver coz the screen of my browser was flickering a lot while scrolling.
I am not acting smart………God has made me smart by birth!!

for Q1: In recovery mode, look at the package or tar.gz or such file that you used to install the driver. That should contain instructions for removing the driver as well. Assuming this was the only thing you did, removing the driver should get you back your normal working system.
For Q2: WINE is a package. You have to configure it and install Windows programs separately on it. Instructions are very lengthy.
For Q3: Yes, in a nutshell. Look at a command called apt-cdrom.
Don’t act too smart. You are unlikely to get all the questions answered in one answer like I did here. Independent questions would at least help others in future who might lookup Y!A for answers.
For Q1: Try to press Ctrl-Alt-F1 simultaneously and if ever your Ubuntu had the chance to get into text mode. You may try several things:
1. Try to edit xorg.conf file by typing "vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf" at the command prompt. And find Section "Device" just like below:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "DX"
VendorName "Videocard Vendor"
BoardName "BX"
EndSection
By typing letter A. You can replace "DX" value with your original Driver. Example "i810" and replace "BX" with your original BoardName. Example "Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device". And don’t forget the quotes. then save it by typing <esc>
<Enter>"
2. then type X at the command prompt or reboot.
