Re: running the live cd

["Dave" <dmehler26 woh rr com>]

Hi,
   I'm seeing the error. At least on my system it's a crash of gnome-panel. 
I've done an update of packages, thinking that might help it didn't. I also 
took my x display down from 24-bit color to 16, thinking maybe that would 
make a difference since information in the .xsession-errors file hinted at 
my color depth was to high. That didn't work either. I don't have 
gnopernicus running right now, orca doesn't work either, no sighted 
assistance right now but i'm assuming i'm getting the same error from 
gnome-panel.
   Any help appreciated.
Dave.
