+I downloaded the B 2 KDE Live CD ISO last night, burned a CD and put one on a USB stix
+I tried to boot an older DELL Inspiron K1405 laptop.
+Unfortunately, I experienced the same problem as I did with Mageia2 Live CD on several DELLs, a dark 
+screen at about when the login windows should show up. This worked in B1
+When I hit the ESC button shortly after the boot process start, I can see the progress up to the 
+point where the network-up/down comes up and then the screen turns dark
+
+I then installed the B1on the same laptop and it went pretty smoth. The one exception is, the 
+wireless card doesn't work as before. It wants to install the broadcom wl driver which we know 
+doesn't work on this box as it has the BCM4311
+It worked very well with the w43 driver that was on the test Live CD (I believe from tmb)
