Hi folks.
My other half left her netbook (Asus Eee) in front of the heater which seems
to have had two effects. It destroyed the internal flash and caused the
delete key to be stuck down at all times.
I initially re-installed on the broken flash and used xmodmap to disable the
delete key. Then the flash really stopped working. I can install the OS on
an SD card, but now Ubuntu's installer seems to crap out.
I'm sure there must be a kernel incantation I can use to disable the key,
but what is it?
I think this covers it

I would try and fix the key mechanically myself, as i recall popping the
keyboard tray out of an EEE isn't that hard.
