hmm.. the CD we released (version 0.8) is fully bootable. It should load 
 just fine.

It sounds like the CD was not burned properly. Could you please do a 
md5checksum on the ISO file you download it and compare it with our own 
md5sum to make sure the image you downloaded is not corrupt.

The correct md5sum is:  d87f2f56ccc30531ca5d6abf341485e4

If the md5sum is the same, then there is a bug in the start-up script, 
which is the first time I am hearing.

It would be helpful if you do the md5sum check and if the problem 
persists to email me the error you are getting (in its entirety if 
possible).

we are working on a maintenance release and I would like to know the 
outcome of your tests.

You do have version 0.8 but the graphics all say version 1.0 :).

Thanks
