DrescherThe manual says the DVD contains drivers, software applications and utilities that you can install to avail all motherboard features.I get a screen with wine which says what to download eg drivers utilities manual disk Norton. I was hoping to get something useful. It looks like a waste of time to me. Do you agree? William

Also any software that directly contacts hardware (like windows temperature or processor monitoring software) will not work in wine. For both of these there are linux utilities. The manual will probably work but no need to install accrobat in wine since there is a linux native version. John
