Hi Guys
Currently I have gutsy on both the internal 4gig drive and on a 16gig flash
drive. I'm looking at scrubbing gutsy from the internal and installing
something else as I mainly boot from the flash drive at the moment. I'm
guessing that will require some changes to my grub file on my part so the
flash drive wont throw up errors when gutsy ain't there on the 4gig drive?
Would I be better off scrubbing the lines relating to the internal drive and
installing on it and then just using the bios to switch between internal and
external boots? Would rather the dual boot facility. How much work would that
entail? I'm guessing likely not that hard just not used to this my end as of
yet
I installed eeexubuntu on my partner's eee pc. It was the best solution
I could find. She has since left it out in the rain and it aint working
so well atm. I will leave that story for another day.
You can do the manual BIOS hack, or you can just leave /boot and MBR
intact on the SSD and just remove the entries for the SSD. I personally
found using SSD for the OS and the SD card for /home and some other
mount points great - except when the thing went to sleep and woke up and
would allocate a new block device for the SD card.
Cheers
Dave
PS Cross posting probably isn't the best approach getting a good
response from people.
