I found out the CTL+ALT+DEL in another forum post & proceeded to try out your suggestions Skunk. Anyway, it worked fine until the system reported dependencies for SQL DB stuff & for my lack of Linux knowledge, I decided to abandon the exercise altogether. I bit the bullet & proceeded to get a licenced copy of WinXP Home to run the SC on the 4G eeePC. After some hesitation, I replaced the entire Linux SSD with XP code. Pleased to say everything turned out fine,, including access to music on the NAS. I was surprised I could fit quite a lot of stuff on the 4G SSD after purging most of the unnecessary XP files. This includes an early version of MS Office, iTunes, SC, MSN, IE, AntiVirus, etc. Some tips to those intending to install SC on XP, assuming your eeePC runs Linux at the mo.,, 1. Sales of Win XP closing on 30 June (in Australia anyway) so get your order in before then 2. You may use either Win XP Pro or Home 3. You must use a SP2 Win XP install disk; earlier versions will not do & you will get the dreaded BSOD 4. After Win XP install, move directories (which get bigger over time) such as IE temp files to external storage (SD card). The eeePC manual should tell you which directories to work on It's quite cool to have SC running from the eeePC. You get to enjoy portability & v low power consumption due to absence of HDD. Keep it running 24/7? Good luck to those of you looking at moving from Linux to XP on the eeePC! -- dolphin8 Ed ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dolphin8's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17947 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48458 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
