I am only trying to test the daily Live CD, not do an installation. I  
have been testing the dailies since Raring, but I haven't always  
reported a passed test on the QA tracker page. They have always worked  
well (with the right boot parameters to fix the recursive bug and  
radeon video problems).

Starting with the 6/21 daily, I have not been able to boot my machine  
with the Live CD. (Just to clarify, I always use a USB flash drive to  
boot). At this moment, I don't have a spare hard drive to try a full  
installation.
