    I am a happy owner of Acer Aspire One with Linpus Lite Linux

    So far I was able to configure everything I needed, but now I encountered problem with my new Canmore GT-730F USB GPS Stick Dongle. I can download drivers for linux, but I wasn't able to install them. Does anybody know how to do that?



    Thanks in advance

    Andrew

    Recommend you download and try xgps and tangoGPS. I recently went through the same steps you are now going through. At first I had no success at all, but I kept at it, and eventually got it to working. I documented the whole procedure in this post,

    Good luck.
