Dobrica Pavlinušić's random unstructured stuff
Eee PC: Revision 4
Here are my notes about setup of various stuff on Eee PC to make it work better for me.
{toc: } ^ Startup Edit `/usr/bin/startsimple.sh` and insert something along following lines before exec icewm .pre sudo rm /tmp/nologin xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources setxkbmap hr us xterm & exec icewm .pre ^ Compressed root filesystem I don't really care much about Xandos on my Eee PC. However, I really do like idea about having read-only system filesystem (especially if your startup scripts are breakable as easy as ones on eee are). So, to improve this idea, I started to think how to compress read-only partition so I can at least save space. As a first experiment, I copied whole flash from eee (about 3.6Gb used) and compressed it using `gzip -1` (lowest possible compression level). I was quite amazed to see that resulting archive was only 1.3Gb. So, I was up to something (and additional 2Gb of free space on 4Gb eee is also nice :-) ^^ Links Here is collection of references about this issue: {fetchrss: http://del.icio.us/rss/dpavlin/debian+usb full} |
