Twanny, Can you clarify your original statement? You said you "tried to set it to see more tabs". How did you do that? What steps did you take?
Was it working properly before that?

My hunch is your dd'ed the AstLinux flash image to your hard disk. While some have reported this technique to work, the disk geometry of the flash image will not doubt be different from the actual physical disk geometry of a real hard drive. AstLinux is intended to run from a flash based drive to some sort; Compact Flash card (CF), SATA flash module, IDE flash module, USB flash drive, etc... You mentioned that your hardware is not able to boot from a USB flash drive, that implies it is quite old. Here are my suggestions: 1) Without spending any money, confirm AstLinux is the solution for you, one method to give it a try is to use a VM for testing... Convert AstLinux install files to VirtualBox http://doc.astlinux.org/userdoc:tt_virtualbox Convert AstLinux install files to VMware http://doc.astlinux.org/userdoc:tt_vmware 2) After testing AstLinux, and determining it is the solution for you, you may want to spend a few dollars/euros: A) Replace your hard drive with a IDE to CF card adapter (assuming you already have the equipment to create CF cards from your desktop) For example something like IDE 44-pin to Dual Compact Flash Adapter http://www.amazon.com/Syba-Connectivity-44-pin-Compact-Adapter/dp/B0036DDXUM B) You can spend more for a small flash based embedded computer, such as PC Engines alix2d13 http://www.pcengines.ch/alix2d13.htm If this is going to run 24/7, the power savings over an old PC is not insignificant.
