Topic: won't even get to boot options from liveCD

Reading the forums it says before you post about not being able to boot try selecting "yada yada" at boot options. 

But I can't get to any boot options.

I see the welcome screen and I can choose to press [enter] to boot or wait 20 seconds.  After this I get a bunch of scrolling code and then hang.  Funny thing is if I press enter or esc once I'm hanging I see a flash  of what looks like a GUI window with an [OK] on it.  But it just flashes then disappears.

Any ideas?  What information can I provide to help?

Thanks.

The link to the beta file gives me a server error when I try to download.

That was so much easier than messing around with the previous version.

Worked like a charm.

Thanks for help.
