Have you found out a way to use btrfs + compression on your asus eee?
Boot the LiveCD, then use the Install icon. If necessary, use fdisk after booting LiveCD and before invoking Install to Harddrive. Or, use a larger machine to install to removable USB2.0 device such as a USB2.0 harddrive or a flash memory device. Then boot Rescue mode (or the LiveCD) on the small machine, use fdisk to setup partitions, and "cp -ar" to copy the contents from the removable device to the smaller machine. Lastly, adjust the UUID in /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/grub.conf. I used this method to install Fedora 12 to a 4GB USB2.0 flash memory device, then moved it to an old i686 notebook with only 384MB RAM. These days anaconda refuses anything less than 512MB, but my notebook runs just fine [except for xorg-x11 choosing 800x600 even though the panel is 1024x768.] Why is btrfs so alluring? I find that ext4 is good enough, particularly for a small machine that can use LiveCD or Rescue mode for maintenance, backups, etc. GRUB understands ext4 and does not need a separate /boot. If btrfs absolutely is required, then use a LiveCD for booting, but change its kernel command line [type <Tab> at boot] to "root=UUID=<...>" of the btrfs root partition. -- -- _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
