I gave up on Live CD's at Dapper. My equipment is so old & slow that the
Live CD's would *always* fail. Now I only use Alternate CD's and all is
well.  I also found that even attempting to run a Live CD on a
650Mhz/256MB or 450Mhz/256MB is next to impossible... unless of course
you have the patience of Job and don't mind watching things in slow
motion. Compare the Knoppix Live CD next to an Ubuntu Live CD on old &
slow is like watching NASCAR vs paint dry.  I highly recommend trying
7.04 from the alternate CD.
