Thanks to all who replied!

Lisi, how long does your smaller battery last?


1-2 hrs.?  Depends a bit how much I am actually using it.

  

How did you then solve (if
you did) the problem with wireless?


I haven't tackled it yet.  Other people's problems keep moving mine to
the bottom of the queue.  I now have a stronger reason to tackle it, so
that I can tell you the result!

  

Olaf, sorry for my bad English: what is your `ZG5 with a 8gb solid state

Do you all think that everything will be ok with an external DVD drive?


Mine is great with one.  I needed that facility to help someone else. ;-)

But I installed from a USB key (see
) without any problems - except the
wireless!!

whitch brand is the wirless adapter?



Atheros A2425 chip.  But as I say, I have not yet tackled it.

Lisi

  
Atheros is working under debian, but, I have a expirience whit an 
atheros wifi adapter and is not working whit the defaults network 
manager of gnome I have changed that and resolv the problem.


I have use a network manager "Wicd", you can found here

http://wicd.sourceforge.net/

and for my experience, that is work fine whit Atheros wifi adapter.

I hope whit this way you can fix the problem.

Hi all.

Does anybody know if Debian works fine on the netbook Acer Aspire ONE 531H 10"?
And if its 6 cells battery, that sould last at least 5 hours, does not last
less under Debian?

Thanks for any help

The hardware specs look similar to a Dell Mini 10v, which I had to install
Squeeze due to audio hardware not being supported in Lenny, due to the
alsa-conf version after much research on my part.  Posted to this list a
while back and the end result for me, was to use Squeeze.  Had to install
b43-fwcutter for wireless, but after that everything works splendid.  Can't
speak to the battery life, but assuming they benchmarked it running XP you'd
think the battery life is attainable with Debian right?

P.S. This page may help if you haven't already seen it.
