Hello Guys,


I get squashfs zlib_inflate error while trying to install ubuntu 9.04 on my new s10.

I tried with different USB devices and different version of ubuntu still no luck for 5 days .

Can someone guide me here to what culd be the fault?

I am attempting Fedora 11 Live! via USB Stick, and all is working except the Wireless LAN.
I have search and tried several ways to get it working, with no sucess. Any suggestion on getting the B43 /4312 Broadcom Wireless NIC going on Fedora 11?

Just got my S10-2 this past Friday. Running Fedora 11 and Windows 7 RC1 at the moment. I plan to order more RAM and a larger hard drive this week,so I will probably give OS X a try along with F11 and W7. F11 will be the primary ... W7 is to keep my wife happy.

Found this via Google:

Fedora installed almost all drivers itself, only wireless didn’t work. However, it is enough to type ‘yum install broadcom-wl.noarch’ (rpmfusion.org) to solve the driver problem. That simple.

Got my boot down to just under 10 seconds without using your methods. Reading on the Gentoo forums, I've implemented OpenRC into the system and added fastboot=1 and quiet to my kernel parameters. I haven't switched to 2.6.29 yet, having some problems that I just don't have time to tackle.

from ssd with a customized kernel you really should be faster than 16 sec (if "console" is not an x-terminal). on my system initrd took a lot of time, so I recompiled an initrd-less configuration. reprofiling "readhead" saved some additional seconds. it currently takes me ~32 seconds from grub to "kontact + firefox run under gnome". but I'm still using the original hdd.

here is my current 2.6.29.4 .config

.config

- before using and compiling it for yourself, keep a look at charsets and modules to fit your own needs.

p.s.: "The extension config is not allowed.", "The extension txt is not allowed." ... damn ... what about mime-types?

Yes, I have tried that exact procedure, and it all gets installed and yet is not detected.
I am beginning to wonder if this is because I am using the USB Fedora 11 LIVE! version.. Anyone got that going?

Well, I can add another vote for Linux Mint 7. It runs beautifully even from the LiveUSB via UNetBootIn. It's clean and sexy! I'm also testing Sabayon 4.2 (Gnome), but I'm less impressed, mostly just frustrated with the trackpad. It often seems to freeze up or just not have consistent sensitivity. But it does seem to work other than that, including wifi.

I also ran Linux Mint 7 in the live CD mode and it is just beautiful. Its now one of my favorite distro's and everything on the S10 works out of the box. They should have included Skype to make it perfect for me. Im running Windows 7 RC for now and will continue with it until it expires. Im using my S10 mainly to run my house phones for Skype using the D-Link DPH-50U USB Phone Adapter.

Oops, I forgot to check the webcam. I'll get back on that if nobody else chimes in. FYI, Sabayon 4.2 (Gnome, at least) gave me trouble. It was laggy and had trackpad issues. I'm not saying it couldn't be fixed, but I didn't put any time into it.

I run Ubuntu Netbook Remix on my S10 (which now has 1.5 GB of RAM ) and the only problem I've had with it is that I only get about 2 hours of battery life, tops, out of it >.<
