Run level 3 on Live CD

[Kihara Muriithi]

Hi,
 Thanks a lot Jason. Yeah, using 800x600 did help. I didn't like the
solution though since a noob would find it unfriendly. Since the CD was a
little old, I guessed a recent version may have fixed the problem and it
turned out to be true. Now, he can monkey with it until he feel ready to
install it on hard disk.
 Paul has a good point though.  Ubantu has disabled way too many useful
facilities in the name of being user friendly and I am getting cranky when I
come across these barriers.  In fact, I am no longer as impressed with
Ubantu as sometimes back, but this could be related to the fact I have made
Redhat my staple food recently.

Thanks
William
