Well, it installed painlessly enough, and was quick. It's picked up my 9800 Pro but I think this is only the minimum config... works OK for everyday use, but I wouldn't fancy trying RtCW (which I'm gonna install later) with this.
Seems to have pre-installed everything that a newcomer would want (even Firefox

) but I did think that Mandy's installation was a bit easier and a lot prettier.
Right, off to try a few things out, and maybe have a go at getting ATI's own drivers up and running.
