Hello,
I was unable to run the Live CD version of Sage (sage42lwlcd.iso, using a
flash drive) on two different machines, one of them less than a year old.
It has not been tested adequately or it has unusual and unspecified (as far
as I can tell) hardware requirements.
Thanks
PCs typically need changes in the bios to allow them to boot from flash drives.

Yes, the OS booted and I was able to launch Sage, but the window
exited shortly thereafter.
I was able to run Firefox.

What processor does your PC have in it? It is possible the Sage DVD is compiled
assuming the CPU supports certain instructions, such as SSE, which if your CPU
lacked, would cause a problem. I don't know anything much about the DVD, or how
it was compiled, but it might be helpful if you state the CPU type.
