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.
