I just made an desktop installation CD (from the .iso) that can also be used to try it out without installing.
It boots and works fine as far as giving me the screen where I can choose to either run it or install it ... but when I try to run it I end up on a blank screen (except for the mouse pointer, which i can move around).
I don't think it's a graphics card/driver issue, as the previous page looked normal, and it's a 7 year old HP/compaq laptop so nothing obscure or cutting edge ... plus i can see the mouse. The graphics card is an "ATI Radeon IGP 320M"
Could this just be a problem with trying it out, which might go away if I choose to install it, or could there be some hardware issue?
BTW I also ran the option to check the files on the CD, which said it was fine.
