- Known Issues
	Choosing "Install" from boot menu may load live session anyway.
		Simply double click the installer shortcut on the desktop.
	You may see failed services. You can safely ignore this...
		It is likely either VMWare Tools, VirtualBox Additions, or both, depending on the platform used.
		
- Virtualization Issues
	VMWare Workstation 9 has an error when trying to communicate with the HackRF Jawbreaker
	VirtualBox USB performance is abysmal, and will not allow more than roughly 2 MSPS
		Sometimes it will not sample at all through VirtualBox, stop and start the receiver until it does.
		
- Post Installation
	If you'd like to remove VM tools, you can do the following:
		To remove VMWare Tools:
			Open Terminal, and type:
				sudo vmware-uninstall-tools.pl

		To remove VirtualBox Additions:
			Open Terminal and type:
				sudo /opt/VBoxGuestAdditions-4.2.14/uninstall.sh

		To build GNURadio from scratch (this is not advised unless you really need to):
			Open Terminal and type:
				/usr/local/bin/build-gnuradio
				
		To build HackRF Firmware:
			Simply follow the directions provided by the firmware repo.
			There are a few forks available, but everything should be pre-installed to just compile it with little effort.
			
		To build SDRSharp with Mono:
			Obtain SDRSharp Source Code
			If you have trouble building SDRSharp from a source base that has been modified with MSVC 11 (VS 2012), edit the .sln file
			in a text editor to change the following lines:
			
			Change:
			Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 12.00
			# Visual Studio 2012
			
			To:
			Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 11.00
			# Visual Studio 2010
			
			Mono should now be able to process the solution and build it.
