The Live CD doesn't boot at all. It stalls at the splash screen  
(Lubuntu with the little progress dots underneath). None of the usual  
boot parameters work to boot it, however the "snd- 
powermac.blacklist=yes" is still needed to avoid the "fixing  
recursive..." bug.

The Live CD booted fine up to about the June 19 or June 20 version-- 
can't remember exactly, and I didn't keep the iso's. Since then, it  
hasn't been bootable.

I can't comment on the alternate CD because I haven't tried it. I'll  
download it now and give it a shot.

Also, I've addressed this response to the mailing list, with cc: to  
others whom have directly responded to this issue in previous emails.  
If this is not proper protocol, please let me know.
