> In summary: I burned a CD. I tried it on the computer but the screen went
> white after a few moments. I tried the CD on a newer Toshiba and it seems to
> work fine. After checking various help sources, I was able to get to the
> boot menu on the older computer and try a few options there:

> Deleting the 'quiet splash' command

> Choosing the nomodeset

> The final result of doing each of these was the same: a white screen with
> lots of CD activity for several minutes (as if the whole process is
> proceeding) and then no CD activity.

> I am a total novice with this kind of thing so any and all suggestions of
