it is easy if u have the perfect hardware, I for one plan on buying hardware specifically for using linux mce once it works properly.

He's right unfortunately. Hardware is key to this working blindfolded.

out of the box my annus. false advertising lol.

out of the box is going to be hardware dependent. I believe someone is working on a hardware compatibility list. If I can find the link again I'll post it here.

Until then make sure you get the correct video drivers and it should fix this problem.

Installation issues / Re: HAL error

You can get rid of the error by going to synaptic and reinstalling HAL.

I could be wrong but I lost all my external USB storage devices until I fixed this. They didn't show up automatically but I didn't try manually.

Installation issues / Re: Installer breaks my system's network configuration...

I had the same problem, and dun is right, at least for me it needs to download updates during the install.

I'm using a wireless card with ndiswrapper but I'm guessing it's going to be the same for any card.

On my 2nd install attempt I went into my connection properties (via clicking applet on top panel) and manually typed in the ESSID during the install as soon as my connection dropped. It then downloaded the stuff it needed.

Install isn't complete yet but I got past this problem.
