I installed expressgate on my WinXP eeepc 701 with the hard drive installer (thx) to my usb-flash-drive hidden inside pc. then installed syslinux to my flash-drive. when it boots i get a flashing screen unless i push the left mouse key as soon as it boots, then it says press enter for list or what vga 0,1,2,3.... or scan. then I press 2 and it boots fine. any ideas maybe vga=???? boot option for screen please help i would like this more if it just booted right threw but it is verrry fast once it gose from the vga screen. I will also give grub a try mabe that will work better ???? any help or info --user-email-removed-- Hi

Splashtop on a Eee PC would be amazing. But I guess it's just a matter of time until we see all manufacturers following that same approach: A flash area were you can install the kernel for the OS (1GB, 4GB, or even 8GB are not that expensive these days - just recently bought a 8GB USB pen for 18 Eur.) and optionally the rest on regular media... (At least until non-volatile RAM, like M-RAM becomes commonplace, which will completely change the computer/OS architecture once again.) Likewise.

(a micro-OS we can put in a separate disk-partition or USB-device). I saw ASUS is using the ligth version with some MB's, so I suppose they can. (I have delayed my order for a new MB though untill I can get one reasonably priced with splashtop on the board itself) Will we ever be able to download it and install a splashtop light version on any PC ?

Looks like Splashtop can eventually grow to become everything 90% of the users need... eventually turning "monolithic" OS like current ones obsolete in the not so distant future. (Being used to work and program for embedded machines, I always thought this was the way to go! :) Keep up the good work, and keep us posted! Thanks for the info sol.

For example: 2GB? And if so does it recognizes more than 4GB? Yes, it recognizes and uses the full installed memory up to 4GB. Regarding the hardware, does it dynamically detect what's available? - for example, a IDE or Sata CD burner? What about USB devices? Or is the "splashtop" compiled exactly for a specific hardware platform/device? Yes, dynamically detects USB devices including (keyboard, mouse, storage devices); however, we cannot guarantee support for all devices. We do the best we can! :) @carlos

If and when we do something with a USB flash-disk version, we'll get you on the beta tester list. @Carlos - We hear ya!
