This is only vaguely related, but I've been looking for a way to wedge this into the current thread and you mentioned eee's ... I have an old eeepc 701 (the original) that recently decided it's SD card reader didn't want to work anymore. I get an I/O error at a particular block. The SD card is actually fine, it works in a USB adapter and in a different machine's SD card reader. Something apparently went haywire either mechanically or electrically with the reader. You-dumb-too needs 4.4 gig to install, which makes the 4gig solid-state drive inadequate and a functional SD reader rather desirable. -- Russell Senior, President [email protected] _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
