Doesn't boot

Couldn't get the version 0.2 CD to boot. Just kept rebooting the computer. Tried version 0.1 with the same results. Sometimes it would briefly flash a screen with "Loading..." and then reboot, but most times it's simply rebooted into a loop.

I don't have another computer handy at the moment to test with. Did anyone else have a problem?
