Clayton,

somewhere towards the end of the menu.list file you find a line similar
to this:

kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-16-generic root=UUID=c857bb7e-3a7a-
414b-9c2d-a25b7c8da565 ro quiet splash

which you should change to:

kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-16-generic root=UUID=c857bb7e-3a7a-
414b-9c2d-a25b7c8da565 ro

As you see, I also deleted the "quiet" option, so that you see loads of
kernel messages and stuff during the boot process. Of course, all this
does not help you with the live CD. It only makes sense for an installed
system.

When booting a live CD, you may try to press F6 for Other Options and
then delete quiet and splash with backspace and then press return to
have it load the live CD.

Hope this helps,
Helmut
