I display for Ubuntu and FOSS at regular monthly computer fairs locally and my target audience is Windows users or newcomers to Ubuntu. The Live CD is strategically crucial in that user environment. It is now obvious that the non interactive start for the Lucid Live CD is a marketing disaster. Several people approached me about their 'failed' CDs when in fact the CDs were ok, they just did not work in a simple way. Ubuntu Lucid Live CD is not Linux for human beings, it is Linux fro martians. This is the first time in three years of displays that I have had to make real excuses for Ubuntu. This is most definitely NOT the way to fix Bug#1. A live CD is a standard bearer of the Distribution, it is at the very sharp end of any marketing that is done in the real world. It should work in a most convenient way possible, and because it is a snapshot frozen in time, it should work well (note). Lucid Live CD is letting us down, change it back for goodness sakes!
Note: the live CD menu item Install Ubuntu seems not to work also. This is LTS? Do we actually want new users?
