F10-PR-i686-Live.iso

Just downloaded and installed the installed Fedora 10 preview from
http://download.fedoraproject.org/p...est/10-Preview/Live/i686/F10-PR-i686-Live.iso
Had to add the following line to /etc/rc.local

Code:

/sbin/modprobe pciehp pciehp_force=1

to get SD cards recognized at boot. Wifi (ath5k) and sound just work. I don't use suspend/hibernate, so haven't tested them.

 

I did, too, in an attempt to find a successor to Linpus. However, I decided to restore the image I luckily made before wiping the ssd. It all worked reasonably well -although notably slower than Linpus- but I gave up hope after noticing how updating seemed to go at a snails pace while constantly writing to the SSD. After literally 45 minutes, it had only done 10 out of 93 updates - and those were pretty simple and small updates too, nothing really substantial. That can't be right; and it can't be healty either, so I gave up..

And yes, I did change the filesystem to ext2, and my 110 has 1.5 GB ram. So while I'm watching this space for improvements, I'm back to linpus for the time being :cry:

 

There's also an XFCE spin. Download torrent here:

and feedback here (one report of it working on an Aspire One):

I'm using an older beta version of F10 on my one. It mostly works. Sound works in Gnome but not XFCE. And pienjo is right about live update taking forever -- it's extremely slow. I've only updated it once, and I was planning to wait for the final release before updating again. But I think I'll switch to the XFCE spin. I love Gnome, but it's an awful lot of overhead on the old 8GB SSD.

 

Sometimes downloading updates is really fast, other times it sucks. I did an install and update today that wasn't nearly as bad as what you describe, but I've been there. I try to do only a few updates at a time - takes longer, but less likely to get stuck in the middle. Once Fedora 10 is actually released and the initial bugs get taken care of, you shouldn't see too many large must-have updates.

 

oh i haven't noticed the addition of the Fedora and Mandriva subforums.

that's like foreshadowing that linpus on aao is going anytime soon :cry:

i wish acer would just update this os so i would not start from scratch all over again after installing a new os T_T

 

i hope fedora would release something like fedora lite 10 or fedora lite 9.

 

Closest will be the XFCE spin. There is some ongoing work on an LXDE-based spin, but I don't know if it'll be done for F10. I've been working on an install that uses LXDE with as few GNOME dependencies as possible; it's tough when you start with a GNOME-based distro like Fedora.

 

i hoping for something that comes with xfce, so it might be the xfce spin that's right for me. i just hope everything works, whether out of the box or not and have nothing that ubuntu and mandriva one 2009 gnome has on the aspire one. what's important is that everything works, no matter what's the steps involved in tweaking.

 

Running F10 preview from aao hdd and haven't noticed any unusual slowdowns other than an occasional site where a package is being pulled from is slow.

There's a Fedora AAO wiki page with some pointers on speeding up things a bit look here AcerAspireOne
