Comment 15 for bug 464710

Hurrah muchos kudos to the sys admin who suggested it. Works great for me.

I noticed when the icons at the bottom off the screen come up (keyboard? and
stick man in circle) you do need to press a key to get the ubuntu
install/live choices to come up so that you can add the extra option onto
the cmd line.

If you don't do this is it just hangs and requires a hard boot.

Many thanks again.

Simon.

Now a happy bunny.
