gnopernicus startup with ubuntu on live cd

[Jude DaShiell <jdashiel shellworld net>]

Timing is everything here.  What I found effective was to listen for the 
post test beep the computer makes as it's booting up and immediately after 
that beep hit f5 then hit the down-arrow key three times then hit enter 
twice.  Then wait and I hear the gnome sound theme followed by disc action 
followed by a message saying welcome to gnopernicus and leaving me in the 
window with startup mode preferences defaults minimize about help and 
quit.  I suppose I could try alt-f2 from here and type install <cr> and 
that might or might not start the installation process up I wasn't too 
clear on the explanation on the wiki earlier.  Oh before I forget, what's 
espresso in the ubuntu context and how might it help with installs?  We 
got one bad install last time because of grub and error 18 and if possible 
I'd like to avoid a repeat performance this time.
