Comment 2 for bug 576808

hello Clement:

I very much appreciate your tremendous work on making and maintaining Mint.
And so do at least five good friends, some total noobs but now Mint users.

Did not try compatability before but did so just a few minutes ago. Got
several pages of lines of the install then just black screen, nothing. But
CD light stayed on for a little while; did not notice HD light.
