I've just been installing the new Kubuntu KDE4 Remix Beta on an old Acer L100 Media Centre using the Alternative Install CD (so I can do a text mode install) as I only have an old CRT TV attached to it. When I tried to boot from the CD it looked like the installer picked a display mode that didn't work with the TV as the picture lost stability and was unviewable. I couldn't find the usual options to change the screen mode, but found that this worked to override the screen mode:

Bletchley Park

Bletchley Park need your help! It was the site of the UK's main codebreaking establishment in World War 2 and the work done there significantly shortened the war and saved many lives. As well as the role it played in delivering the freedom we have today, it is also regarded as the birthplace of modern IT. Despite this significance, the site is in decay and desperately needs your support.

Shockingly, it receives no external funding and is being allowed to go into decline. You can help by signing this No.10 petition: http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/BletchleyPark/ and you can get more information by visiting http://www.bletchleypark.org.uk.
