Beowulff beta - 32bit -live iso

note ASCII 2.0 32 bit loads okay (iirc as live)
live and live-safe mode both hang up on the desktop
live - gray desktop, mouse pointer but not moving  - had to power off
live -safe  - had desktop, but no mouse or keyboard - clock was frozen in time  - had to power off
live to RAM worked as a live DVD
. had install issues with GRUB install - created a bug report - - [before I saw it mentioned in this forum]
....(forum search didn't provide relevant results)
*
had to resort to grub legacy and manual installation - never did "menu.lst" my Vista partition
will manually edit
.
no sound on initial install - haven't debugged but I see it mentioned in the "Installation forum"

specs:
2006??   P4-HT 4G ram  sata-hdd  sata-dvd  BIOS
installed on /dev/sda3  swap=sda2    vista=sda1
fresh install on the sda3

HTH

Might be helpful to have the exact filename of the iso you tried to install.

mouse/keybd/time all locked up

Un-plug and re-plug either mouse or keyboard. That should fix it.
