Peter,

Thanks for the feedback, glad to have one less live CD out there. :)

When you say "nothing seems to work", can you provide a little more 
elaboration? I assume you're still trying to use NPAD, so does clicking the 
link drop you into the NPAD web page? Does the Java applet run on the page 
(there have been numerous issues with this related to more recent versions of 
Java)? Is the test starting but unable to give information / correct 
information?

-Dan
