Comment 1 for bug 493965

Microyacht: "I've just installed EP 1.6Beta on my Asus Eee PC 900. Apart from the obvious missing right-hand control panel pane, everything looks more or less the same and is working OK.

To use my GPS I have to install the linux universal gps driver package: GPSD (It works with almost every GPS). Took me a while to download and install it using Synaptic Manager but eventually and at long last have my Marine GPS working.

Also downloaded and installed OpenCPN Navigation software. Then copied over my 26,000 Marine Charts (CM93).

For the first time using EP, it's all working GREAT. :D"
