Ok, let me see if I can get this straight:
Using builds from September 13th
1) The live ISO - burned to a DVD-RW boots the desktop with distorted (8
bit) colours on some of the buttons and title bars.
2) If I attempt to install from the live CD, I get the blank dialog box
headed "Install". Unable to proceed from there
3) The Alternate install disk also burned to a DVD-RW completed the
installation successfully, but when I booted from that, it resulted in a
blank screen with a cursor in the centre which appeared to have the same
graphics distortions; ie coloured horizontal bars at one small square in
the centre of the screen. I could move the cursor and sometimes the
colour distortions would disappear, but then come back as I moved the
cursor about. Was unable to get anything else except the distorted
cursor. I could however jump to a CLI by doing <ctl-alt-f1).
4) Booted as in (3) but with command <video=ofonly> I got a blank screen
and was unable to proceed anywhere from there.
Clear as mud?
