it is very important that you understand that the current release of Klikit-Linux is a RELEASE CANDIDATE version,
which means that it is still not completely stable, it may be somewhat buggy,
and it still requires some testing.
Before using this version as your main
O.S. make sure you backup any important data. The team behind the
development of Klikit-Linux will not be responsible in any way.
Once you download the .iso you will have to use a burning program such as k3b, Brasero or Nero.
If you are using MS WIndows, some of our users have reported that imgburn does an excellent job.
Do NOT burn the .iso as data, you have to burn it as a CD/DVD image (.iso).

SOME SIMPLE FIXES, TO SOME SIMPLE BUGS:
(these are the initial simple bugs that have been reported by our users)

PROBLEM:
Launching Strigi - Desktop Search does not work.
DESCRIPTION:
When I go to Launch >> Strigi - Desktop Search
I get:
"Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (strigi) isn't associated with any program"
FIX:
This problem is happening because Klikit-Linux uses Mozilla Firefox as
its main Browser, and strigi is being identified as a web address
instead of a Konqueror kio slave (strigi:/)
To fix it, Right click on the Launch Button, select Edit Applications Menu.
Then Select Desktop Search (Strigi) and under the Command entry change 'kfmclient' exec strigi:/ to
konqueror strigi:/
You will have to do this also in the root account, and in any new user you create
