It is a "live" cd used for

Forensics/Data Recovery
System/Network Analysis and Security Scanning
Temporary Network Device/Server

ok well, looks like my card in vmware isnt supported, but when i went to /etc/X11 to edit the XF86Config file umm its not there. Did he forget this or move it to another place?

I'll ask him, but why not just boot to the CD instead of using VMware?

He told me that the config file is created each time you boot by kudzoo, he is also getting ready to re-release the cd with a Fedora 2 core instead of the RH 9 core its using now

I'll have him take a look at this post, its worked fine on all the machines we've tested it on

he might want to have a generic config file maybe in /etc/X11 just incase this happens and all Id have to do is recreate the config file or edit it. I also found that xf86config isnt there either to recreate the config file
