Have you read the blog post, the download page or the errata ?
"Please note there is a bug about LiveCDs and NVIDIA graphic cards. A
workarround can be found in the Errata"

Thanks, that was very useful. The system displayed perfectly with the
nouveau driver. But. GNOME 3; horrible. Cannot work with it, ever.
More to say on the forums.

Just try KDE beta3 liveCD : it's wonderful (after the workaround for
nvidia graphic card problem)
quite everything is OK
you just need to add the repo in CCM rpmdrake and validate the non-free
and tainted repo if you want to read multimedia files : the gstreamer
plugins rpm and dependancies will be automagicaly downloaded
never used such a good LiveCD (better than fedora, debian, opensuse !)

I suppose I ought to try KDE but have little hope of liking it. The
couple of times I tried it in the past I felt totally lost, as I do in
GNOME 3. My main interest is development and for a new release I would
want to make sure that I can run all my home grown ruby scripts OK
because they effectively define a big chunk of what I do and I have no
idea how to go about installing a persistent development environment in
a live CD session. I could not see immediately how to access my hard
disk from the live CD either.
