Current Issues
- 32-bit Ubuntu 7.10 does not work but 64-bit seems to
- when booting a live CD, be sure to get to isolinux before DVD drive spins down. That means choosing and editing boot options quickly. Alternatively, when about to continue booting, pop the DVD drive tray out and then push it back -- that will start the drive spinning again.
- at first the desktop screen is not displayed correctly. Switch to console and back to fix this (Ctrl-Alt-F1, then Ctrl-Alt-F7)
