Hello,

I found that while booting, i get the error message at
starting CUPS printing system. it blinks here for a while
and says build failed and exits installation.
so i end with the text console.

Can anyone tell me what i can do now to boot with live CD

It seems that your graphic board is not recognized by pclinuxos. U had the same problem and this was my solution.

1) Copy the propietary driver on a usb key using another pc
2) boot the caelinux dvd
3) insert the usb key and mount it
4) install the driver from within the usb key
5) digit startx in the terminal to start the GUI.

Regards.
