First f17 install -- on an ee701

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have 1Gb of memory upgrade, so I have enough memory. My SSD is only 4Gb, but I have a 16GB SD card.

So the SSD is setup for /boot with 300Mb, swap with 1.6Gb and the rest is /var. The SD is /

The challenge with the install is the small screen size. I complained about this and submitted a bug on it with f14 (which was the only install I have made on this ee701). Apparently the developers did not feel it necessary to do anything about adjusting the dialog sizes to the actual screen size. For the most part I was able to guess what keys to hit for the buttons cut off below the bottom of the screen. I could not see how to setup a LVM on the SD, so it is just and ext4 partition. Also I could not go into customizing the packages for the install and although I did provide my local repos so I grabbed all the updates right off, I had to just go with the standard graphic desktop package install....

Next I will have to do the gnome 3 customizations. Though I MIGHT just leave it for the defaults for a while, rather than all the customzations I did for this f16 notebook a year ago. I actually would like to wait for f18 for upgrading my main notebook; I kind of like skipping releases...

Anyway.  so far so good.
