even 9 was a bit like that i thought. still, it does have a lot of benefits over other leaders like fedora (much smaller install footprint, nicer gui for non power users etc)

did you have a swap partition on your harddrive at the time?
usually livecd's use them if they exist. It would be piss slow but it'd work.
