EEE Notes

My “main” computer nowadays is a hacked EeePC900 (I replaced the default Xandros OS with Debian).  I purchased it about a year ago and I’ve been really happy with it.  My only quibble is the same as everyone else- the keyboard.  The keyboard problem is exacerbated in my case because I’ve got above average size hands.  None the less, I have “learned” how to type with a fair amount of accuracy on the little guy.

While updating the Debian install, the new Grub2 was brought to my attention.  I gave it a shot and found that the EEE had no problems with the loader.  The only issue I an into was with the post install command.  After verifying that Grub2 worked on the computer, I thought I was supposed to type “update-from-grub-legacy.”  Unfortunately, the computer kept spitting back at me that the command was not found.  Frustrating.  Well, it took a little while(including several reboots, thinking that the command might get uncorked or something) until I realized that the command was actually “upgrade-from-grub-legacy.”  No problems since.
