Had to keep pausing whilst writing a comment on slashdot. Took 10 mins after dekstop appearing before Firefox was usuable. I couldn't find a way to dedicate the fast SSD for ready boost so I dedicated my 8GB SDCard instead.
MUGTUG SKETCHPAD HOW TO
I looked on the internet for advice on how to speed it up. The computer was starting to feel sluggish. One good thing about Windows is it's easy to try new software. I hacked the config file to make it go full screen, which worked. On Windows, that resulted in "Unknown command or batch process" On Ubuntu I would just type wesnoth -small-gui on the command line to get around this. It did the same thing with the black screen as before.ĭownloaded and installed Avast, firefox and Wesnoth again. Wesnoth failed as the 8GB SSD had run out of space.ĮeePC 1000 8GB fast SSD, 30GB slow SSD, 8GB fast SD card. It felt quite snappy, I liked the search box but I missed gnome-do and apt-get.
MUGTUG SKETCHPAD INSTALL
I downloaded and installed Avast antivirus, firefox and tried to install Wesnoth. Just I feared the worst, a mouse pointer appeared, followed by the login screen. When I powered it back on again, the screen went black again, where you would usually see the boot splash screen. I felt like I was getting the full Windows 7 experience at last.Īs soon as it booted, it did some automatic updates.Īfter 20 mins with no screen, I powered off the computer. It installed, recognised the internal wireless card and switched on aero. I went for it anyway, because I wanted it to run fast. Win7 recognised both SSDs but said the 8GB one was 7.8GB and was below the recommended 8.4GB free space. It usually runs Ubuntu and absolutely screams. When I plug it into Ubuntu it just works.ĮeePC 1000 8GB fast SSD, 30GB slow SSD, 8GB fast SD card. Win7 advised me to get on internet to find drivers.Ĭouldn't look for drivers on another computer because I have no clue what chip is in the card. Plugged in USB wireless card to get on internet.
Win7 installed successfully, quite usable. Nicked the hard drive out of here and went back to. Obviously this HD was going to be too small, so I didn't even bother. WinXP runs happily in 384mb leaving the same for Ubuntu, which it is also This was the best experience I had with Win7. My PC only has 768mb so that only leaves 256mb for Linux. Wrong file system - needs NTFS.Ĭlick advanced drive options, click delete, click new, click format.Ĭlick for explanation. Well, I own two netbooks, and I count myself in the category "anyone".
