Reboot - I got an X-server error (not visible) with an out-of-vertical synch static black band across the centre of the display. The body of the error message was not visible.
There was a choice (Retry or Continue I think from memory) but the keyboard was not working properly ( I got another retry button and other screen corruptions but neither option was properly selectable, and Return didn't).
Ctrl-Alt-Del got me into a reboot. On the third attempt the live CD booted properly and I got panels and menus on the GUI.
I cannot exclude the possibility of CD reader faults - yet. I will do a check on the CD and report back......
