A Couple General Questions
Posted: Tue Oct 26, 2010 5:50 pm
I recently picked up a WebDT 366 LX from tbowland and I have a couple of questions.
Is there a way to maybe increase the sensitivity of the touch pad? When dragging the cursor it often clicks the desktop (or whatever window I am dragging over) and it is pretty annoying. If I press pretty hard it doesn't happen though. (This happened in Windows as well but I didn't play with it for long)
I've installed Debian Squeeze with e17 (which installs perl for some reason), iceweasel (was the smallest install I could find), wicd-curses (couldn't get exalt to work...), and mplayer (Which runs 600x480 xvid over wifi great BTW) and I have 18 27MB free now.
I mainly followed quotaholic's E17 post.
I've compressed all executables in /usr/bin with UPX, installed localepurge, removed /usr/share/doc (and man), I've mounted /var/log, /tmp, and /var/tmp as tmpfs and remove locales (which removes localepurge as well, oh well).
Any tips on freeing space?
I'm thinking maybe a squashfs setup (I wish btrfs was more stable...) or mounting /usr on a CF card if it's fast (any one know?)
Thanks!
