With the 7.10 live cd, both the regular startup and the low graphics mode caused the screen to go blank and not return. With the dell remastered 7.04 live cd, the regular startup caused an x server issue. The low graphics mode got all the way to the login screen, but required a username and password (the default username looked to be 'ubuntu', and I tried several passwords but I couldn't hit the right one).
