Thanks for the info, it worked well once, after a crash not as well.
Finally I made it work, probably me, not the directions.

I had trouble with the set up of Thunderbird in that the screens to input mail servers had tabs like “next” below what I could see on my screen, with no way to scan down to find the “next” to click on it.

My solution was to install “vga utility”. This tool lets you pan down to info that is off the screen, so it can be acted on.

Thanks again,
Bill g

OK, did that on a 2GB EEEPC. Thunderbird is now installed, but it gets a segmentation fault on every launch. Error message is:

/usr/lib/run-mozilla.sh line 131 1916 Segmentation fault “$prog ${1+”$@”}

And yes, “eeepc-update-pack20071126″ is installed.

Thanks – I’ll have to give it a shot. I am just not getting decent results out of Photomatix at all.

I’ll give it a shot. I think it should. I have watched YouTube videos on it. And the other night was streaming XM Radio. I also have made a few calls using Skype on it.

It’s a very capable little machine.
