    I want to make my F560us my Linux box, but it's giving me a bit of trouble. So fart I've tried 7.10 which hangs at some point during the install. I've also tried 7.04 and Kubuntu which both after putting in the live CD give me some sort of mesh looking screen when it looks like their going into the desktop. I'm guessing some sort of graphics issue, but I'm sort of stumped. Any help greatly appreciated.

    Here's a method that worked for Ubuntu users and the same hardware over on this thread.

    Good Luck..
