Hi Jonatan, Carlo made an announcement of a LiveFlash edition created especially for his EEE pc, righ after the release of 014: http://lists.gobolinux.org/pipermail/gobolinux-devel/2008-January/003113.html He might have improved that edition since then, though. Carlo, do you have any unpublished changes for LiveFlash since that announcement? -- Lucas powered by /dev/dsp _______________________________________________ gobolinux-devel mailing list gobolinux-devel@lists.gobolinux.org http://lists.gobolinux.org/mailman/listinfo/gobolinux-devel
