goofy progress bar going about an inch across the screen. Why do they
hide the boot messages with a splash screen anyway?
Tried it on my desktop too and the same thing happens; gets to the same
spot and quits.
WTF?

If the downloaded and burned 'image' is OK, suspect your hardware.

You can probably see the start-up messages scrolling (or not scrolling!)
by hitting the Esc key.

Check the download and the burn. Sounds like corrupt file or media.

Booted just fine.
It wouldnt boot on my Pentium M 1400mhz 256mb ram Dell laptop without
hanging. Same with my P III 800mhz
Dell desktop.
I thought PCLinuxOS was a lighterweight distro...guess they're shooting
for newer hardware.
Bummer.

No. Rec hardware suggests 1G ram for the generic, minimum 256. I
wouldn't try to run a KDE distro on 256.
There's a PCLOS w/ lxde that ought to be a lot lighter. Also an E-17
one. lxde would be lightest; e-17 weight would comparable to xfce
which there is also a pclos xfce.

Try to boot it in safeboot. It should boot up the live cd as normal.
use esc to see what is going on in the background

The users' web forum might have some help to offer. It's possible the
'Live CD' isn't coping with some aspect of the hardware which a proper
installation process would handle OK.

PCLinuxOS is a 'fork' of Mandriva (back when it was Mandrake). No
lightweight!

So it is in fact a BUG. Verified at the PCLinux forum:
http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php/topic,62766.0.html

It's a hip-hop way of stating that what one has just said is
incontrovertible truth.

You are probably right. but after reading here
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=word
I'd feel better informed if folk used the English language properly so
that there would be no doubt about what was meant - init? ;)
