I've been using LTS releases since 6.06 and each has initially had more problems than the one before it for me.
Edit:
Hitting tab during startup to get the menu, the CDROM passed the "integrity check". Seems there is no text mode install option, I'll see if nomodeset helps before I download Mint
use the alternative install disk there is a problem for some with the live CD.
