DesktopCD Installer Slow

[Chris Neary]

If I ever use a live CD, I either have to make sure

a) it doesn't use a hefty WM like Gnome or KDE or
b) the machine has a really fast CD drive.

I've had 32x CD drives which run the Ubuntu live CD incredibly slow, but
they're ancient drives anyway, so that may be a factor.

If you have another CD drive to try, try that. In the past Ubuntu CDs which
are brand new and pristine wouldn't even install due to a dodgy CD drive.
Swapping the drive solved the problem.

Good luck.
