Re: Debian5-E17-1.2

I did it your way last night and got the same results.

Maybe I need to edit the grub line to include noacpi.

I'll try that tonight since I still have the image on the tablet.

Re: Debian5-E17-1.2

Okay, I will try formatting the partition before I dd it. Also, I think I have a 4G drive for some reason. When I scan the dmesg, it tells me a 4096MB hda. I'm using the trinity rescue kit. I use that for virus removal, and any other low level work on drives that are bogged down with spyware and stu...

Re: Debian5-E17-1.2

Ok, I cant get this image to work. I redownloaded it with my fedora machine and used a different memory key. same results.

Re: Debian5-E17-1.2

Fails to boot.

I get the grub screen, and it begins booting, then the screen dies and I have to hold the power button in for 10 seconds to get it to shut off.

I wonder if I should try rerunning the dd command.

Fn computers. I hate them this week.

Re: Debian5-E17-1.2

When I make an image from my DT I use the dd command: "sudo dd if=/dev/hda of=/mnt/blah-blah.img" That makes a raw copy of my filesystem. To restore that copy first format your whole flash drive to reiserfs, one partition, with no atime option if it exists. quotaholic Correct me if I am w...

Re: WebDT 366 and navigation

I ran iGuidance 3.0 on mine for a while, before I tanked it trying to load on some other windows based carputer software. I forget the name offhand, but my device refused to boot, even in safe mode. I wiped it and loaded puppy linux. The problem with iGuidance 3.0 is it is now somewhat out of date, ...

Re: Debian5-E17-1.2

I really like the e17 eyecandy. How about the bluetooth and the zocom xi-325 wlan card? Or am I just being greedy now?

Re: Debian5-E17-1.2

Does the touchscreen work in this image?

Or should I stick with the puppy linux image?

Re: DT WEB 360s for sale - Band new still in the box - $ 75.00

Im interested in some 366's. What wireless card is in them. I'm not sure what you mean on the spec post. I don't care that they are blank. I will load some flavour of linux on them myself. I do need a power supply and a wall mount or a stand, and I would prefer if the stylus was included. I'm lookin...

MisterHouse

I came across my DT366 in a bit of a roundabout way. It came with xp and I used it that way for a bit, but it finally tanked. It sat in my computer room for the past 2 years and I dug it out to decide what I wanted to do with it. I thought I could use a few of them like in the movie Ironman as front...

Re: Complete Image of Puppy 4.3.1 including Penmount drivers and hardware buttons

I've got this installed on my DT366. I got the sound working and the screen calibrated. I can't seem to get the wireless working. I pulled the card, and it seems to be a zocom XI-325. While I am a pro on Fedora/Redhat/CentOS, I have no clue on PuppyLinux. Does anyone have drivers and instructions on...

Re: Look at this guy! He is like a distributor.

I've been looking at his auction for 2 years. I'm thinking of buying 5 units to use as front ends for my misterhouse. He was selling them in singles. I'll see if I can find that auction. I have a DT366 that I just installed puppylinux on, but I'm having issues with the wifi and bluetooth drivers. Wi...
