I put the newest beta on a removable drive and tried to boot in as live user. I can't get past the sign-in page. Please help. I used Zorin some years ago with pleasure and I'd like to try out this one.

Do you mean thumb drive/flash disk? What did you do to install the beta to the drive?

Thanks for your response. It's a thumb drive, to which I installed Zorin Beta via the "dd" command. I get to the sign-in screen, where the user "liveuser" is shown. I click on that and a process starts that after about 15 seconds brings me back to the sign-in screen.

No luck. I downloaded the iso again, but still couldn't get past the sign-in page. I guess I'll wait for the final release, and try again.
Thanks again for responding.

I suspect your issue is with 'dd' - I only ever use MultiSystem on my thumb drives but to get it to work you need an installed GNU/Linux on your machine:
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=13887&hilit=+MultiSystemWhen Zorin boots in live mode it goes straight to the Desktop - like zorinantwerp said - either corrupt iso or 'dd'ing is the issue - you need MultiSystem.
