[Server-devel] XS on ASUS Eee PC Network Driver Missing

2010-12-02 Thread Andra DuPont
I'm installing XS 0.6 on an ASUS Eee PC with an Atheros AR8132 Network Chipset which is not supported on the current XS distribution. There are linux drivers for this hardware, but I need help on determining which driver distribution to download, and how to install it. Does anyone have experience

Martin, Looking at some Fedora sites, I see where there are many post of problems with the Eee PC and backlighting. Based on what I read, I decided to update the BIOS, and although it didn't fix the problem completely, the screen now has about 10% brightness, so I can actually read it if the roo

Martin, Thanks for the suggestion. I will run lsmod. After sleeping on it, I think the conflicting driver must be related to the backlighting on the display, not the graphics processor. The Acer and Asus have the same graphics hardware, but the displays are different. Andy On Dec 1, 2010, at 1

[Server-devel] Cloning and hardware addresses

2010-12-02 Thread David Leeming
I have been cloning a "master" XS hard drive onto a number of copies, to be used in different computers (of the exact same type). I used the following simple way of cloning dd bs=8192 if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb where sda is the master and sdb is connected via USB. This done using a live CD to
