    Moblin linux

    Anyone try to run Moblin on a Mini 110 yet?

    I downloaded the image, wrote it to a flashdisk, but could not get it to boot. I got as far as the moblin splash screen on boot. If I tried the boot and install option, it didn't even get that far.

    Re: Moblin linux on Mini 110

    I tried it. I booted the image using Parallels on my mac to see what it long liked. I must have done something wrong as it replaced my WinXP disk image. Luckily I had a backup of WinXp. I then followed the instructions at moblin.org to write the image in raw form using dd command in Terminal to a 2G USB drive. This booted fine on the HP mini and everything work except wireless and bluetooth. There is a guide on moblin.org to install Broadcom drivers to correct this deficiency. This still leaves Bluetooth and I normally use a tiny Bluetooth USB dongle with a Bluetooth mouse, as I 'm totally awkward with the trackpad. I haven't gone further than that since UNR works fine without any additional install of drivers and moblin wasn't a earth-shattering change to justify going though the rather convoluted process to install the Broadcom driveer.
