I have been given this ee PC
Its only got 512MB RAM and a 4GB HD
Its got a fairly useless Windows XP install on it thats somehow shafted and really need to be wiped and so, I am wanting to slap some linux on it.
Its only got a 4GB HD so its fairly limited, but I thought of throwing on a basic MiNT setup
I put mint onto my usual USB Booting stick and went for it, but it was unable to mount the boot media ( Even though it was half way into booting it )
It did the same with a couple of other MiNT flavours and also the Ubuntu distros too!
I then tried the Browserlinux and I have downloaded the unetbootin program, and I have done everythign I need to, but nothing I do will actually let me make a bootable USB drive thats compatible with the eePC
Irritatingly, I have the Acer Aspire one setup al ready on anoither flash disk but thats also failing to install too!
So, it got the better of me, and I threw XP onto a flash drive and thats gone in and installed.
So, why can I not do any Linux distro?
Please help me here cos I is fik
Thanks.
