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.

Should I try the Design-Suite LiveCD?
https://spins.fedoraproject.org/design/#home
Or the base LiveCD? In the latter case, will it have the packages to recognize the Wacom, etc devices?
Many thanks,
