Thank you very much Jemimah.
Yeah is right.I think it's maybe usb3.0. I'll poke around in the kernel and see if that's something I can just turn on.
Edit: Yeah it is. Hopefully Fluppy011 will work then. Smile
I will test Fluppy011 as soon as it is available.
Thank you very much Jemimah.
dawnsboy, I ahve both same machine as you have but also the older? D250 and I use Fluppy 8, 9, amd 10 on that one with usb mouse and I write from it now.
But the D255 are much more "touchy" and nervous? but as I remember it did actually accept to use usv mouse. I tested two different makes on it.
Dell and Labtec.
Do you have them attached when you boot up?
Ooops I do frugal boot and you have a full install. Maybe Jemimah knows if that change how it respond to hardware during the script or BIOS doing post? Late at night here so I go silent.

Actually I did a frugal install. The mouse was the least of my worries as the touchpad, webcam and usb ports do not work with Fluppy010. I was able to test touchpad and external mouse simply by attempting to use them. Flash drives plugged into usb ports were not detected. I checked the webcam by pressing the windows key which caused the icewm menu to popup. From there I used the arrow keys to start the webcam application. It reported an error and could not find the webcam.

I just tried to do a full install from a remastered fluppy10 CD. The cd boots fine and runs well but when I tried to install it- upon reboot the boot stalls with "sh-3.00". Does anyone know what that means?

Full install-it stalled right at the beginning with "sh-3.00". I already deleted the full install and did a manual frugal install and am using it now to post with but I can try another full install. I did a full install the other day using the regular fluppy10 cd and it worked fine.jemimah wrote:What type of install is it? How far did it get before hanging?

on one old HP/Compaq I had both full install and frugal install and that way I could boot into the frugal to ask things and then go back to the full and test out the suggestions forum members had.
Take very little space to have a say 1GB of frugal install?

Sorry I noticed your question today.edoc wrote:How did you create the third partition?nooby wrote:You only need a new partition for Fluppy if you have to do Full install.
I use Fluppy on a netbook with three partitions that the manufactor Acer out there all in NTFS and the Sda3 or (hd0,2) is the one I use for many frugal installs.
I made use of Shinobar's describtion on how to use grub4dosconfig to get a dual boot going.
I cannot get gparted to show the two NTFS MS partitions so I cannot move things around.
I trust the Acer or OME did it unless Jolicloud wubi install did it? I do have only two partitions on my Acer D255 which I bout as a reserve computer but never use due the fan very noisy.
The d250 supersilent
I never do partitions other than on USB. One can not do MS win7 recovery iof one do a partition on it.

It does come with its own tool to resize the partition (but yeah don't use gparted - various versions have a bad ntfs bug ... lost a lot of stuff that way last year)nooby wrote:I never do partitions other than on USB. One can not do MS win7 recovery iof one do a partition on it.
Check out my [url=https://github.com/technosaurus]github repositories[/url]. I may eventually get around to updating my [url=http://bashismal.blogspot.com]blogspot[/url].
Here it is: Fluppy011. I solved the sound problem, so we now have kernel 2.6.35.7 hopefully with usb3.0 support, the latest brcm80211 from git, wl (blacklisted), rtl8180se, keucr, acer-hdf, ndiswrapper, and tkusb.

Congratulations on Fluppy 011!
I tried to download both the ISO and the ZIP and both are terminating the download way too early to be complete.
Is the server getting slammed and compensating badly?
EDIT: It seems to be working OK from dpup, the problem before was from Fluppy 010.

Acer Aspire One D255-2301
@ Jemimah
You were right. The issue with Fluppy 010 and my Acer Aspire One D255-2301 was USB 3.0. I am posting from Fluppy 011. External mouse, webcam, external usb drives, etc all work very well. Frisbee executed wireless networking flawlessly.
I must say that this has been a very smooth experience thus far. I will do more testing and report any issues (should there be any). This is the perfect OS for this little Aspire One. Thank you very much.

buiid issue with ati/fglrx
If/when you do fluppy 012...
f it is something you are attuned to doing... there is an issue with the kernel and building the ati proprietary driver. It builds... but the fglrx.ko created will not modprobe. (invalid module format error pops up) I did some investigating and there are some patches for this but I more or less don't have the knowledge on how to build kernels:-)
Virtualbox built okay for me so it is not an overall system issue or me not having the proper files.
I will upgrade to fluppy 011 just to check that something random may have occurred where this will now build correctly.

Sure, you can take a look at how I call it by looking at the volup and voldown scripts. Brightness for the Eee is done in /etc/acpi/hotkey.sh.magerlab wrote:downloading now
another thought i have:)
i saw that backlight on samsung netbooks is only supported via setpci
so is it possible to add xosd somehow to those archlinux scripts ?
