Daily Build 20071014 CD Live still fails. Boots to black screen where Gnome desktop should load.

Found a workaround:
Boot CD Live
Watch for X to initialize
Ctrl-Alt-F1 (timing dependent, might have to do it a few times)
sudo killall gdm
sudo apt-get remove compiz
sudo apt-get remove compiz-core
sudo startx

and away it goes, booting successfully, gnome desktop and allQ
not quite all - switcher fails, reload? don't reload, to get switcher functions just do Alt-F2 and enter the command, sudo halt or sudo reboot or sudo whatever.

Sure could use a CD Live boot option to remove compiz!!
