Hi all: I got an Asus eee, the 4 gig one, as I couldn't get the eight gigger... and got into the bios all right, with a bit of help, probably one of the easiest ones I've ever had to deal with, but after getting the live ubuntu cd to run, decided to take a peek at the flash drive's partitions, and discovered two linux partitions, and a couple of fat partitions too. The question I have now,, is can I delete all the partitions safely without killing the bios, an odd question I know, but wasn't sure if the bios stuff is on the flash drive, or is it separate? The other curiosity is that although grml works, the latest one, using espeak, I get the message "error: oss failed to load mixer device" when starting swspeak, and of course I can't turn up any of the volumes. Is anyone else using grml on an asus eee? Thanks much for any help with this critter, I like it already... Cheereo! -- Email services provided by the System Access Mobile Network.
