Problems with a live CD

[Knapp]

I have found in the past that if it will not work with one distro try
another. A good place to find out about others is distrowatch.com

When things fail, I like to try Sabayon, Damn Small, Knoppix, and
Puppy. For some reason PClinuxOS has beaten Ubuntu on Distrowatch so
that might be good to try also. This maybe lazy but I find it often
easier to burn a few cds and test them than to fix the problem. On the
other hand you learn more fixing the problem. I also would recommend
there weekly free net publication to all who want to learn and keep up
with Linux. Be sure to read the users comments.

If you are having problems I would stay away from Gentoo unless you
just have a lot of time and want to learn. Sabayon is based on Gentoo
as Ubuntu is based on Dibian.

But before you give up, is there not a setting when booting from the
CD to turn off options and stuff? Maybe someone can say what to turn
off there? Of course all those other posted ideas look good too! Good
luck.
