Hi Bill,
The "unable to open" message could be just that, is he sure he is trying
the right interface ? Is it a usb-converter ?
One way to find out about these things is by searching the log. Within
drakconf (called "Configure your computer") under the systems tab is a
log query tool. Search for "usb" and check messages to see any errors,
wanings or info.
For applications I assume u are using the live distro and hamlib is
already there. You may install more stuff by using urpmi, it automates
the entire process of downloading, installing and getting required stuff
etc. There are several tutorials on the net, here is one:
