cd boots, weather I choose run or install:

mount: special device /dev/sr does not exist
losetup: failed to setup loop device: no such file or directory
Mount: /dev/loop0: can't read superblock dracut Warning: /sysroot has no proper rootfs layout, ignoring and removing offending mount hook

dracut Warning: can't mount root filesystem

Dropping to debug shell.
sh: 0: can't access tty; jopb control turned off
dracut:/# _

there was some sort of "Blocking" problem with this version of the live CD, which was solved with subsequent versions...

Hmmm? The only change between the initial release and the current media is that the artwork was corrected (some pictures replaced). Nothing else was changed ...
Maybe it was just a bad burn or so?

I always do torrent downloads & haven't had any problems burning CD
I did the download & burn twice, same both times
I was on a bug about the install process for a long time & having exchanges with Marja
my understanding was the beta, never had a working live cd, I don't have the ability to burn dvd's...
I saw this thread dangling, so I closed it
