Bug Description
Sorry for filing it with "ubiquity", but the bug is linked to the install process of the beta version of Precise Pangolin, and I had to choose a package for Apport.
Steps:
1 downloaded live CD from http://
2 boot with live CD
3 ubuntu loading page appears, dots moving
4 funny welcome page appears: parts of my standard Lucid Lynx desktop, strangely shifted across the wallpaper. Let's say, the upper left quarter at the lower right, etc. system goes on working for a while, then freezes. no input, even not the REISUB sequence. why does the live CD install take info from my harddisk???
5 switch off power, new boot, I repeat steps 2 + 3
6 very colourful screen with many pixels, as if taking a random bitmap and displaying by the graphic card. comp seems to work for some seconds (CD player active), no input accepted
7 the same like steps 5 + 6
I see no chance to intervene, i.e. to make a mistake.
Where can I find logs to post? Those in the /var/log/installer are very old. Can I stop the process?
No hurry, I'm safely and happily working on Ubuntu 10.04 and open for testing.

Just a low quality (sorry) picture (screenshot is not possible of course) from my forth boot from the install CD.
You can see different segment of my Lucid-desktop. It is probably the last screen before the switch-off before the trial of the install CD, because you can see the lower part of the switch-off window on the right up section. And possibly it is just the content of the graphic card, so Precise finally doesn't take this information from the Lucid partition on the hard disk.
