Hey Puredyners -

I'm a long time Ubuntu user, but I've never booted up PureDyne. I just got a
new HP G72 Notebook with a 64-bit 
http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=50175 Intel Pentium P6100 CPU  and
Intel HD graphics. I downloaded
puredyne-911-carrot_and_coriander-DVD-amd64.iso [26-Mar-2010] and checked
the md5 before attempting to boot. Boot gives me an option to load pure
dyne. When I hit return it appears to load, but then the screen goes (and
stays) blank. I burned two copies of the DVD at the slowest burn speed, and
both do the same thing. What have I done wrong?

I noticed that a few weeks ago someone on the forum 
http://puredyne.466513.n3.nabble.com/Puredyne-6th-Feb-CD-problems-booting-td2468776.html
had a similar problem , and a user "Breen" suggested "I unpacked the iso
image and renamed that files to "vmlinuz" and "initrd.img", made new
"md5sum.txt", created new ISO and I can boot." Is this the solution? If so,
would someone more familiar with the problem describe in greater detail how
to manually change the ISO so I can burn a working copy? 

Thanks!

PS - I haven't had a chance to install ubuntu on my new laptop yet ...
