Known kernel issues;

o Some graphics cards do not interact well with
the splash screen system, meaning console
operation () might not be possible.
(this doesn't effect the desktop)

o The "Trash Can" facility on the desktop does not
work properly. "Move to trash" does work, but displaying
the contents of the trash can does not.

To view trashed files, click on the desktop "home" icon,
select view hidden files from the menu and look in the
.Trash folder.

Features;

o To use a second key as a "home" drive (i.e. to store
all your user information on a second key) , simply
format a second key as an MSDOS or ext2 partition and
install a file called ".home" in the root directory.

To mount an MSDOS filesystem under Unix 'properly';

mount -t vfat -o shortname=winnt o Printing is only supported to a networked CUPS server.
