The notepad is available in RTP, but not in the start menu with all the
programs. It's in your computer screen bottom left side as an icon. Same as
calculator. Actually initially I was trying to open these two applications
in the start menu and could not find it :-)
Document CD is available. As in my testing, I can do search within CD and do
search within page.
My testing experience is I try to go through the configuration from
beginning to the end with little delay. For example, my ISDN did not work
initially. I worked about 5 minutes and could not figure it out, so I just
skipped it and worked on following things. Basically I kind of finished
fairly quickly -- with some skips and lots of woops I found later :-). Then
I went back and worked on skipped part, then recheck everything.
