(Get the code!)
I just tried it with the 8.04 CD that I used to load on this box - files
dating Apr 24 and earlier. X didn't start. The Ubuntu screen with the
progress bar opens correctly - the little orange indicator moves back
and forth for a while - the "final" progress bar fills to completion.
The screen then goes black with a white underline displayed in upper
left corner for a few seconds. After that the screen remains completely
black. [ctrl]-c, [ctrl][alt]bksp, [ctrl][alt]F1 do nothing.
[ctrl][alt]del and power button get a 'beep'. The power button is the
only way to exit.
I will d/l the 8.10 beta but it will take a while - I downgraded to Road
Runner Lite and my d/l speed is about 11% of what it was ;-( but I save
$15/mo ;-)
