Installation from Xubuntu daily-live cd was not possible as X would not 
initialise the screen.
 Installation possible only via alternative cd, but X still not loading on 
reboot (after install)
Tried:
i) Different kernel, including from Jaunty
ii) Different xorg settings, vesa, nodri, removing all extra modules etc.
