Description lucid journey 2004-10-27 08:04:34 UTC
Please update the install documentation or merge the experimental iso into the live tree. I have two coasters and wasted a lot of time that could have been avoided by a simple warning. I SURE HOPE THIS ISN'T A DUPE. Maybe if it is someone could work on resolving the problem instead of expecting the user to search through Bugzilla and the forums before even attempting an install. If you don't like the signal2noise ratio imagine how fun it is for a non-english or newbie. DO SOMETHING.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Burn CD
2. Try to boot CD.
3. Set drink on new coaster.

Actual Results:  
My gentoo experience was destroyed.

Expected Results:  
The "bootable" live cd should have actually, hrmm, I guess booted.

Anyone know a good place to buy discounted cdr media?

We're already well along the 2004.3 path and will have a new release out in 19 days.  Is there really a point in revisiting 2004.2?  I am sorry that your machine was unable to work with the ISO image that was produced for 2004.2, but sometimes things happen.
