 I should have tried the livecd before installing, but didn't. The livecd
 does work fine on a different computer. The installer worked fine.

 When running from cdrom, the deskbar, the three leftmost desktop icons and
 the background image appear, then the system freezes. I cannot get into
 KDL. I can move the mouse around before the freeze.

 When running from disk, the deskbar appears, a faint click is heard from
 the speakers (maybe also when running from cdrom, but that drive is too
 noisy), then the system freezes. Again I cannot get into KDL.

 When enabling safe mode and running from disk, the system seems frozen for
 a second after the desktop loads, then appears to work fine. Then I can
 get into KDL. No clicks this way.

 Other boot options don't seem to matter. I tried the following
 combinations:

 * all in safe mode menu (works)

 * all in safe mode menu except safe mode (doesn't work)

 * only safe mode itself (works)

 This is a relatively old laptop with unsurprising hardware and enough
 memory (512M), see attachments for details.
