I haven't tried, but the slimmed down linux is Linpus Linux Lite, which is based on Fedora Core 8. According to the Wiki*, 'The SC RPM has been Tested with CentOS 4, CentOS 5, Fedora 7, Fedora 8, Fedora 9, openSUSE 10.3 and openSUSE 11.0. Should also work with any distribution derived from one of those'. But also note further down that 'It should work with other RPM-based distros, but there may be issues that need to be worked-around'. If there is an easy way to return the netbook to its original state, and if you have your stuff backed up, it might be worth just blindly trying. Hopefully someone who has actually managed it can chime in, but since WCS only had 1 post a month ago I thought I'd offer some vague advice. *http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/SqueezeCenterRPM -- Skunk http://www.last.fm/user/TheSkunk/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Skunk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2685 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53429 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
