Actually I shouldn't have emailed so soon. For the first boot from the
live CD I tried the specified failsafe options suggested in the
prompt: linux nonet simplex acpi=off That booted all the way to a GUI
- and had network support(!?). For my next attempt I just hit return
and it hung. I couldn't find any virtual terminals with error
messages, but that might be me not knowing the right key
combination. Trying to boot with only acpi=off gets me much of the way
- until the live CD tries to run X; then I get a very nice box
bouncing around my screen saying "video mode not supported". The
monitor is kind of crappy and obscure, so that is disappointing, but
not a huge deal - and I think these instructions on the Scientific
Linux site might let me fix that problem.

Burning the disk 1 of 4 iso for CentOS 4.4 and we'll see what that
does.
