I ended up reflashing before starting. But that was because I had installed an app
which hinderd my ability to use apt-get.
The instructions I gave are very simple to follow and I included one by Schmot that
would help newbies like me. I would do first 3 steps with apps you have installed
and if you can accomplish those three you should be alright to continue to the other
three steps. If you are familiar with linux and especially xterm the whole process should
take 40 minutes. Make sure to remove any app monitoring apps they really screw
up the process because they are so cpu/memory hogs.
Do the simple dual boot first if it goes well you can go back and add ext boot or even
USB boot. The beauty of Fanoush's (step 4) and step 7 is they automate the whole process
all you need do is hit return after each section is completed. The dual boot is an amazing
app. I now have 3.3gb for os! Afterwards I highly recommend doing the USB Hub process
I wrote about earlier in this thread. Laughingstok is right that this is so much better
than anything apple has. I bought this it as a simple portable internet device and
these new apps and os have transformed it into a more powerful multi use computer.
Good luck. Dan
