Has anyone installed Linux Mint on the Asus Eee PC? I've read that you should turn off file swapping so not to use up the memory read/write limit. How do you turn that off? I was wondering if anyone had a list of does and don't for installing this on my Eee PC. Thanks for the help.

I have USB memory stick and when I plug it in nothing happens, it works in windows on the same PC plus I'm pretty sure it worked before. The stick light comes on but now it does not show up on my desktop or in my mounted media. Is there anything I can try to get this to work?

I don't know where or what to modify in my smb .conf?

This seems to be one of the only areas I have found with Mint that other distros do much better. All the other distros I have used in the past have had some sort of Samba config software, is there something like that for mint that I am missing?

I got the Screenlets working, I right clicked on one and said quit. Now when I load it, it says its loaded but I can see it. I even tried uninstalling it and installing it back. Any suggestions?

Never mind, figured it out, I was being stupid. Sorry guys, thanks for you're time.

I have the same issue,I was wondering if someone could elaborate on how to make my share drives available to my windows PC. I have one XP and one 98. I have a mythbuntu computer and the share drives it setup automatically shared perfectly. Thanks for the help.

I fixed the spelling in the first one, but you're right I have no sound, just in Pidgin. I changed the sound method, the only one that works is System beep. I have a creative sound audigy 2, if that helps.
