Can't explore the contents of the ram drive when running from CD. == You should be root

Can't set permissions of files == You should be root, and use "chown"

No GUI based ftp application. == Surprisingly valid criticism, but try "kget" or "konqueror"

If installed to HD, ' apt-get install gftp ' == To install a good FTP GUI client. Klaus prolly decided against including one on the CD to save space.

--IIRC, there is nothing by default on the ramdrive (" /dev/shm " or " /dev/ramdrive ") unless you put it there. (Perhaps with the "toram" boot parm)

--To get to a root prompt: Ctrl-Alt-F1
