[Lubuntu-desktop] How to Get Informative Boot/Install
I downloaded, burned, and booted the new Alpha2, but it died along the way with a black screen. No error messages preceded its death. Is there a boot/install option that will spew those progress messages across the screen so I may have a clue about the cause of death?

Hi Lane, Pick the option (I forget which key.. F4? F6?) at the grub menu, and select nomodeset to add to the boot options. That's what worked for me and many others.

Whoops, I meant at the CD boot menu. Once it's installed, this nomodeset also needs to be added to the grub menu for subsequent boots.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] How to Get Informative Boot/Install
When you see the First boot screen, press pace and you will get the normal text boot screen. You can now test the CD for defects. A slow burn and MD5 success will pretty much garuntee this but it's worth a test. The same screen can test the ram.
