EEE 901 installation

Has anyone successfully installed Mint on one of these? Which distro did you use?
What is the maximum size of the SD card you can use ? I believe they have a 4gb and 8gb sdd as standard.

I was given one of these little chaps and I would like to get it working again.
Thank you.

Re: USB connection to Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i SOLVED

I installed SSHDroid on my phone, which gave me its IP address and port.

In Nautilus, I was able to use File: Connect to to server, use the IP and Port as shown in SSHDroid, then using folder /mnt/sdcard, user root and password Admin.

Click Connect and I could see the files on my phone's SD card.

USB connection to Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i (SOLVED)

How do I get connected to my Galaxy Ace mobile phone via USB?

When plugged in I can see the device in 'Computer' but it won't open. Maybe a setting somewhere on the phone? I thought this would be a piece of the proverbial seeing as Android is linux based.....

Re: Printer CUPS problem "Filter Failed"

Still unable to print to Windows network, am I the only one out there with this problem?

Has Mint 15 addressed this, if so maybe I should upgrade to that.

Re: Printer CUPS problem "Filter Failed"

No one seems to be working on this, I don't know what has changed as I was able to print to a Windows network perfectly in the previous Mint versions. Hopefully someone will include a fix in an update!

Re: Unable to enable wireless

Thanks, TBA Bill, the wireless chip is enabled following your other post!

I still can't connect to our wireless network, this is on WPA Personal encryption, infrastructure, via a Lynksys WRT54G2 router.

Do I need to input a device MAC address?

Nearly there....

Unable to enable wireless (SOLVED)

I have a MSI CR620 laptop and just installed Mint 10. I cannot detect any wireless network and under Network Manager the option Enable Wireless is greyed out. Please can you tell me how to enable this and hopefully I can detect the available networks.
