One other questiuon/point: you mentioned

I downloaded Ubuntu 8.04.1 Alternate and burned the image. MD5sums all
checked out as did the CD. I installed it which was in the graphics mode
- fine with me.

there is no "graphics" mode on the Alternate CD - only: Normal, OEM
install, Install a command-line system, Install an LTSP server. The
normal and OEM modes do use very limited graphic (DOS style) screens,
but nothing like a liveCD install. Can you clarify what you mean by
"graphics mode"?
