Hi Wesley,

With some very good advice from fellow skunks, I got to install iatkos (leopard I think), on a dell laptop. The image is available on http://mirror.ac.ke/public_uploads/ The main thing to do while installing is to make sure you skip the cd check step. And the rest is quite easily understandable. I removed it because I could not get sound and bluetooth to work, but I think thats been fixed with ideneb.
