Comment 8 for bug 500198

I can confirm this on Xubuntu also. I do get "Opening pip: No such file or directory" when checking Alt+F1 for messages. The cd check gives me a blank screen which apparently is hung someplace. It is impossible to determine if the check is proceeding at all, and the system must be restarted to continue with using / installing the live cd.
