+ NOTE: AFFECTS PUREDYNE 9.10
+ 
  Puredyne never had this problem on my 6 year old HP Desktop.  But on a 6
  year old HP Laptop, it did.
  
- Setup: 
+ Setup:
  Old HP Laptop <-- USB --> External DVD Drive (With Puredyne disc to boot from)
  
  (1) Live Boot menu problem: It locks up immediately after pressing any
  key on the Live boot screen, or 95% of the time, locks up after a few
  seconds even if I don't press a key.  Finally after trying many times, I
  get past the Live boot screen and successfully boot into Puredyne.  I am
  able to install Puredyne on a partition, but end up with problem (2)
  below...
  
  (2) SIMILAR GRUB problem after installation on Hard drive partition: I
  can see other partitions Linux and Windows partitions, but if I try to
  press UP or DOWN key, GRUB freezes.  However, if I press no keys after
  powering on, at least it boots into Puredyne 100% of the time.  But I
  still can't access my other partitions without using Super Grub.
  
  Work-around for (1): None?  Try many times to boot off live disk and get
  lucky 5% of the time?
  
  Work-around for (2) GRUB boot problem: After installing Puredyne, find a
  way to install a version GRUB 2.0 or later.  I believe Puredyne's GRUB
  1.97 is the issue.  Usually, I just installed a working version of
  Ubuntu (yes, on ANOTHER partition XD) that had GRUB 2.0 which fixed the
  GRUB menu.
  
  Question: Perhaps GRUB 1.97 caused the "PC ONLY: the current stick
  cannot boot on Mac (do you know why? tell us!)" from the Puredyne
  website?
