Hi Antonio, > I have successfully installed rawhide on an Acer Aspire one netbook. I have encountered several difficulties, but I have overcome some of them. > > 1) The netbook had Windows XP and a hidden Restore partition. I used xfce Livecd from Adam Miller, it resized the XP partition beautifully everything worked except when grub was written the partition that was booted was the restore partition and I overcame it by changing the (hd0,0) to (hd0,1) and I could boot XP again. Here's how I modified boot/grub/grub.conf > > [olivares@acer-aspire-1 ~]$ > > [root@acer-aspire-1 ~]# cat /boot/grub/grub.conf > # grub.conf generated by anaconda > # > # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file > # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition.

I have to press and hold power button so that the machine can shut down properly. Other than that, I am running rawhide on a netbook :) > > If anyone has advice/suggestions or has questions. I'll try my best to answer them accordingly to my experiences with it. Does the wireless work OK? What about the rest of the hardware?
