Problem resolved. but for your amusement heres some info about the netbook and processor.
It features a WonderMedia 8505 SOC which is an ARM926EJ-S rev 5 compatible proc. 174.48bogomips, features swp, half, thumb, fastmult, edsp, java >From what I understand the thumb and java features mean it can execute native ARM and Java bytecode. Its got a whole 128Megs of ram, or more like 100megs usable after the kernel and everything is loaded. It'll start to swap when using Aptitude :) its got 2gig nand flash as internal storage which is presented to the system as a usb disk...so booting is nice and fast - "/dev/sda2 rootdelay=7" :| built-in fastethernet and b/g wifi Thanks again for your help.
