OK....very interesting.... After two installs (one update from Karmic and then one format and install straight off the CD), I tried booting into the LiveCD which worked. From there, I formatted my Linux partition in gparted and then installed from the CD desktop. Voila. Full boot into Lucid without a problem. I chose all defaults for the install, BTW.
But THEN....I started using the desktop, and about 5 minutes in, the screen went black. I had an error message about a Gnome package but wasn't quick enough to note what it was. Subsequent boot attempts get me to the desktop for about 2 seconds and then back to a black screen.
