Or try other distro's live CD. I will wait for 10.4.1 on my PC doesn't display....

I have not had the live CD problem on my hardware but I have heard reports from friends that they don't work on some hardware and knowledgeable people have reported problems in diagnosing the problem. Hiding bootup detail doesn't help matters. I did find the cdromupgrade script on the alt CD broken - it asks for a CD label other than that on the iso. There is a plethora of complaints about Lucid. Hopefully the 10.04.1 release will reduce the noise. Replacing Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt with Love, Enthusiasm and Faith should be our goal.
