To WeatherGod -

To follow up on tests reported in ## 94 - 107, I booted the same
computer w/ the U-10.04 beta ISO on a cd-rom.  The last time I tried it,
the computer ran for 2 - 3 minutes before freezing.  Decided to see if I
could go to System-Preferences-Appearance-Visual Effects and change from
"Normal" to "None" in the time before lockup.  I was able to change the
setting.

Once the Visual Effects were set to "None", the computer ran fine.  I
spent about 10 minutes trying Firefox, solitaire and opening sample
files from the desktop folder.

It would be nice to give it a longer test, but after 10 problem-free
minutes, I had to get on to other things and shut down.  I wonder if
people w/ freeze-ups might be able to get a "fast track" to the "none
setting" as an installation option.
