I now tried the jaunty daily alternate disk, and installed it on a spare hard disk of mine. The installation went fine, but when rebooting the new system, X behaved in the same manner as for the jaunty live described above. This time, however, when I chose "Archive configuration and logs", /var/log resided on a physical hard disk rather than RAM, so I got it in store fore you. Hope you'll find it useful!
