As of 200891016 build still fails, both CD Live and installed. I can't do a CD on 20081019 or 20081020 because of oversize. I don't know how to overburn to squeeze 701.6 onto a 700 CD, nor do I know how to remove Gnome games from the iso.

On 200816 I was able to get CD Live to boot by watching for when X windows initiated, quick do a couple
Ctr;Alt-F1 for command line, then
sudo apt-get remove compiz
sudo apt-get remove compiz-core
Ctrl-Alt-F7 to continue.

On install, check to see if it failed. It did. Boot in rescue mode
select root command line
sudo apt-get remove comp;iz
sudo apt-get remove compiz-core
exit
resume
then boots to Gnome desktop. After removal, then the install just normally boots to desktop O.K.

If you have any alternatives I could install compiz and try again. The laptop is dual boot so I can boot on Beta install, get a failure, then boot on Alpha 5 NOT UPDATED and look around logs, .xsession-errors, etc.

Thanks for your attention. Jerry

See also bug 277344. I sure could use a CD Live boot option to not use compiz.

Thanks for looking at this bug. Jerry
