Which version of the live CD were you using, Warty or Hoary?=0A=
I haven't used those Live CD's, I have only used the install=0A=
cd's for those Distro's.=0A=
=0A=
The new Dapper Live CD I have used, and have not had any problems.=0A=
It has quite a significant feature that the others do not have which=0A=
is Esspresso. It basically allows you to do all your installation from=0A=
the live CD in a graphical manner :)=0A=
=0A=
You may want to try the latest release of the Live CD at this url.=0A=
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/dapper/flight-6/=0A=
=0A=
Here is an overview of the features.=0A=
http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/flight6=0A=
=0A=
Any ideas on where it actually hung? Could have been at the locating NTP se=
rver=0A=
section, which has a long timeout. If you don't have it plugged into a conn=
ection=0A=
with internet and DHCP, then it will try and connect for about 2 minutes or=
 so then fail on older releases. I believe this was fixed on Dapper though.=
=0A=
=0A=
If I can actually make it to this month's meeting I will bring in my laptop=
 to show off some of the nice new features it offers the users. Most notabl=
y in Network Configuration.=0A=

A lug meeting or two ago I grabbed a copy of the Ubuntu disks.=A0=A0The=0A=
