900A, broken by default

, ,

I installed the 8GB SDHC but it's not really used by default.

The software ASUS updater launched and hung when the drive was full.

Is it something I did?

I decided to rm -rf "My Documents" and "Picasa"

After I open a root terminal via control-t in the file manager. I have apt working.

Painful

Maybe I need to install vanilla Ubuntu or Moblin?

Lets see what happens.

I can understand why most customers returned the 900A...

Software updates are totally busted, even when I tell the device to autoupdate it will only download. The 4GB CF is sitting at 96% full out of the box.

next step;
install moblin on the SSD and mount the home directory from the SDHC

Moblin on the SDHC went well but only as a test. Today I was able to build an Ubuntu 8.10 USB flash image onto the 8GB OCZ. I wanted to test on my new brisbane hardware but UPS is holding my parts.

I'll try to install 8.10 on the 900A tonight.
