I was wondering if anything special is needed wrt installation and how to get the 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.

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
