Alt+F2, press r and enter to restart the shell. You should have a permanent power off item in the menu.
Is there a way to do that with a live CD or DVD? Or a respin meant to resemble Gnome2?
I've just managed to produce a live CD that does boot (even though it never offered me the option to check the medium!). That's a start, but I'm sure I can get further with it if I can keep as many as feasible of the ways I orient myself, and take up the new stuff an item or two at a time. The straight install, such as it was, felt like being thrown into deep cold water to learn to swim.
There's space left on my CD; or (I presume) I could put that .iso onto a DVD and have literally space to burn -- if doing so doesn't require Alpha Double Plus Technoid skills ....
