== Current Issues ==
## List any issues you have with the current development release here
This is written based on a quick tryout with the Dapper LiveCD without installing anything.

Live CD for Feisty requires xorg-driver-fglrx to be installed which is not on live cd.  See Feisty Install section below.

=== Notes ===

== Hardy Install ==

Works extremely well on a clean install...
 * Wireless works and the default graphics driver (non-fglrx) gets the correct widescreen resolution.
 * Would be more than acceptable to work on a clean install with no tweaks.

 * CPU frequency scaling applet(s) recommended!
 * Fglrx driver required for desktop effects
Recommended to set gpu powerstate to 1 for best battery and lower heat. It can still cope with compiz in this powerstate...
{{{
aticonfig --set-powerstate=1
}}}
 * Fprint required for fingerprint reader

== Feisty Install ==
If installing from the live CD you will need a working network connection.

You need to have the xorg-driver-fglrx installed and you'll need a network connection to do this.

When the live cd boots up use Ctrl-Alt-F1 to get a terminal up.
Then:
{{{
sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx
}}}
Then:
{{{
sudo aticonfig --initial
}}}
You should be able to restart x then using either:
{{{
startx
}}}
or
{{{
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
}}}
