Hi,
After getting my command line system installed on my EEE, I installed KDE
trunk packages from Project Neon. The packages install to /opt/kde-nightly/
After adding /opt/kde-nightly/bin to my PATH, I can boot up, login, do
startx followed by startkde and I'm running a KDE session. I'd prefer to be
presented with kdm after boot and log into that.
I'm guessing I need to put X and KDM into some startup script, or X needs to
be configured in some way to use KDM. Anyone know?
Cheers,
Steve.

check /etc/innittab - is the boot level set to 3? if so, change it to 5 -
that should boot into some *DM (xdm, gdm, kdm).
if it's already set to 5 but not booting, a quick hack would be to tell the
system to run kdm after the system boots -
add "kdm &" to the end of /etc/rc.local
I'm sure there are correct ways to do it, but those two spring to mind from
the available info.

I use my Nokia E51 as an internet access device with an Asus EEE
running stock, and with a Macbook Pro, in both cases connecting via
Bluetooth. It generally works OK, but now and then it causes me grief.
On the EEE such grief leads to having to setup the connection again,
while with the Macbook, I often have to reboot after the connection
dies, as the Mac can no longer find the phone (though sometimes
rebooting the phone helps).
Then I heard of Joikuspot, which turns your compatible S60 device into
a WLAN HotSpot that shares your phone's 3G internet connection to
external devices. If this works as advertised, it'd save me all the
grief associated with the Bluetooth connection, though I suppose it'd
have a negative impact on battery life.
So, have any of you used Joikuspot? Does it work as advertised?
Niall

An EDGE / 3G connection drops easily and then the Bluetooth may drop.
An HSDPA USB modem and even swapping existing SIM better? Does the E51
do any better than 384k? I thought it EDGE and 3G only not HSDPA.

Yes, it does.

And yes, it does - and this is a regular source of grief with the
Macbook - doesn't seem to bother the EEE so much.
> An HSDPA USB modem and even swapping existing SIM better?
No, not better at all. The whole reason for using my phone for
tethered net access it to not carry yet another device.

You thought wrongly - it does HSDPA though again for my purposes, 3G
is usually adequate and when I really need it, it's for ssh
connections, for which even EDGE suffices, in a pinch.

ALL RAID is software - it's just a question of where the software runs
(and I include XOR engines here - still software, really, just very
specialised software, runing on very specialised hardware) and how
much you trust said software. Linux software RAID definitely gains
from the many eyeballs principle.

Hmm, not that specialised. The Mylex ones were small embedded
computers (i960 and then XScale) - using normal SIMMs/DIMMs even.
Never seen any PERC cards, but no doubt similar thing.

Read what I said Paul. The processors on 'hardware' RAID cards are
many and various - I've even seen x86 variants used IIRC. However, I
referred to the dedicated XOR hardware included on some cards to
offload these calculations from the card's CPU - the only thing which
coudl reasonably be called hardware RAID, as it wasn't software
executing on a general purpose CPU - though I'd still argue that as
it's executing an algorithm, it's software.
