I too downloaded the .iso yesterday and immediately burned a CD to boot both of my computers. While I do not expect Linux to be able to properly drive my Samsung SyncMaster 225BW monitor to its native resolution, I can usually get by with one of the other resolutions. Even though not

I had a number of problems with the system. It booted fine. I got both programs running. I have a Rigblaster Plug Play which is a USB serial port. I could not determine what serial port that would be to setup the C-IV for my Icom. I needed that for PTT. I also tried to follow the directions
