stylus, etc going. According to the shell of the laptop, it appears to have a Wacom
device. Is there any place I can read up on this? I am interested in being able to use the
tablet features and the stylus.

Hehe then it's notebook, and you probably don't need anything in particular that
relates to the thoroughbred tablets,
especially in relation to the installation.
Super duper.
So, I was able to install without a hitch. The stylus works, at least sort of. One thing I
am unable to get is the keyboard on the tablet such that using the stylus on it would make
it possible to type. Is there such a feature?
I installed from the Design Suite LiveCD.
Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan
