I strongly suspect the CD reader. I have tried again tonight on the same hardware with CD No 1 used previously. Warm reboot from shutting down Windows came up alright on the live CD with both panels and all expected panel contents. A shutdown and cold boot also loaded OK. I ran a launchpad hardware test which should appear somewhere with my email account attached. There were two defects: - one - the default English keyboard is the US keyboard. I am in the UK. (A colleague who installed from the live CD ended up with a US keyboard and had to be shown how to correct it.) - the second - no sound. I don't know whether this is a characteristic of this Dell model. The welcoming chime was loud and clear when I returned the machine to Windows and my wife. I would recommend putting this bug report in suspense unless/until either: - someone else has a similar experience or - a bug is found in the read checking logic of the live boot in either case, with my wife's agreement I will do my best to make the hardware really flakey (ie let it cool right down) and see if there is a detectable difference between this original version and any update.
