It is on how to install eCS on the EEE PC. Could this be helpful in installing ROS onto the EEE PC? :?: :idea:

If only it was stable enough to work right now, then that'd be cool.

Worth Waiting For

Post by tomleem »

I think it would be worth waiting for.

It would be neat if one could install ROS onto a SD card and boot the EEE PC from it. :idea: 8)

ReactOS on EEEPC

Post by Jaix »

Well, it will not only be possible to install ROS from USB, but also it will be possible to install ROS on a USB drive. This will enable us to boot and run ROS from an external drive like an extra OS not affecting any setting on the primary drive much like a live cd works but without the downsides of not being able to change any settings or save the work easily.

First however we must have a working USB stack and drivers to be able to do so, Fireball has made a lot of what is needed, but it isn't ready, so if someone needs a challenge to prove thay you are manly, you are welcome to take a bite out of it.

This is written on my new XO computer that hopefully also will run ROS in a not too distant future.

This has nothing to do with this thread, so don't comment it. This is just pure enjoyment for a sys freak.

Post by tomleem »

http://www.google.com/search?q=bootable ... =firefox-a
Google results for "bootable usb drive". If the sd card is like an usb drive (to the EEE PC, then these sites could be useful in making a bootable sd card? :?:

Guennie, as u should know reactos stil lacks of propper usb support, so dont expect to run it from a usb drive just yet... only thing that could help it is a cardreader with ide interface which are verry (if not extremely) rare!

Win Compatible

Post by tomleem »

Since ReactOS is win compatible and does not take up much space, it would be fast and one could run different win programs on it. 8)

Being a little bit of a non-conformists, ROS is different. :lol:

Like I said just add wine!

I like reactOS but i dont see it as being a liable OS for a subnote book in its current state. Wine is a much better choice at the moment.
