Hi
Here a nice walkthrough for a little tricky setup:
1.
Use that link to make a bootable usb stick:
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEeePC/HowTo/InstallUsingStandardInstaller
I’ve installed my /home/ directory onto cryptfs with the squeeze installer
after installation it won’t mount your /home becouse of missing deb’s
apt-get install dmsetup cryptsetup echo aes >> /etc/modules echo dm_mod >> /etc/modules echo dm_crypt >> /etc/modules
2. to get acpi and eeepc-laptop buttons to work you need
vim /etc/default/grub.cfg GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_osi="Linux""
apt-get install eeepc-acpi-scripts
3. for the rt2860sta wirelesscard you need
apt-get install firmware-ralink
dont forget to edit /etc/apt/sources.list for conrtib and non-free
echo rt2860sta >> /etc/modules
4. get the t-modible webnwalk stick running
echo hso >> /etc/modules
and run this script for connecting with you mobile internet (i’ve found it on some gentoo pages but lost the link)
usage
connect.sh (up|down|restart)
#!/bin/sh
# checking for root
USERID=`id -u`
if [ "$USERID" != "0" ]
then
echo "Need root permissions to run this script"
exit
