I've posted Fluppy 002. Hopefully the Chrome crashing problem is fixed. Ramboot should work now too.

Worlds most hopeless tester here . . .
I was in the process of making a video on installing fluppy
but the bootinst.sh did not seem to work (worked OK in 001)

I ran it from the command line and output is below
I am a great believer in positivity Very Happy
but has the text editor added more than you intended? Embarassed

No - not the text editor - something in the code, could be this?
+ being actually added, rather than functions . . .

I'll add the complete code at the end of this post

TARGET=$(egrep "[^[:space:]]+[[:space:]]+$MYMNT[[:space:]]+" /proc/mounts | cut -d " " -f 1)

I don't think you copied the files to the usb drive before running the installer script.

You should make sure you didn't wack the bootloader on your hard drive.

After wacking my head with a halibut (a type of fish)
I almost managed to create a Youtube video of my adventures with Fluppy 002
bit messy in parts . . .
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLVAdkvlJZc

Still learning how to use Openshot video editor . .
I hope to be using Openshot in Puppy, Lucid, Fatdog64 or Fluppy soon . . . Smile

I installed fluppy02 on my AA0 (acer aspire one)

Chrome seems to be working fine.

I also have booted up in ramboot and put hard drive to standby - the adapted battery time is currently at 34+ hours and so far no reduction in savefile noted, but I didn't check when I first booted.

suspend works fine on closing the lid

Lobster, does your ethernet connection not come up automatically? You aren't supposed to need to reset it.

Embarassed Ah good news I do get connected automatically . . .

When I open the chrome browser, I get a message
Quote:
Your wireless card was not detected, please reboot and enable it in the BIOS


. . . this confused me (it does not take much)
click on OK and in fact the OS and browser is connected via Ethernet . . .

Viliv , Fujitsu U , UMID mbook are UMPCs that have touch screens. Vaio p , viliv and some other umpcs also have built in gps. Maybe you could add touch and gps support?

Well Afgs just sort of added UMPCs to the Fluppy logo without checking. Smile

I'm not sure how well it will actually work on such a machine as I've never owned one.

Touch will possibly work if you install Tempestous' touchscreen Xorg drivers - theres a pet somewhere around here. I'll throw them in if anyone reports success with them.

TangoGPS is already installed. If the kernel supports it, you should just be able to install gpsd and it'll work.

If someone has the hardware, I can probably help troubleshoot but it's all theory without testing.

Jemimah I will try Fluppy on the Kogan netbook later in the week and report back.

I suspect I will have problems with the wifi and mousepad.

Thanks, Smokey

Testing on Acer Aspire One D-150, booting from flash drive.

Major improvement! Chrome doesn't crash anymore. Also, while PAN0 still shows in PWireless, it isn't getting in the way anymore. I was able to connect to my router in only a few seconds. Incidentally, what is PAN0 anyway? AFAIK, the netbook only has an ethernet connector and the WLan.

Still have one major problem. When I shut down, I made a save file to the flash drive. I use Ext2 format, 128MB. When I reboot, I get a boot error and can't even get to the menu. I've duplicated this on two different 512MB flash drives.

Thanks for all the work you've been putting into this. I like your approach to a netbook OS a lot more than Moblin, Maemo, UNR, or any of the other netbook Linux distros that I've tried.

Pan0 is "Personal Area Network". The bluetooth daemon apparently creates it. I have no idea how to use it.

If you can't even get to the menu, try rerunning bootinst.sh. I have no idea why the drive would become unbootable unless you deleted ldlinux.sys or moved the kernel, initrd, or syslinux.cfg somewhere else.
