I installed F10 from the Live CD on my eeePC 1000 about a month ago and nearly everything worked out of the box except suspend/resume (Wifi wouldn't come back) and the Bluetooth mouse (worked with minor tweaking). A week or so ago I upgraded to Rawhide using preupgrade and now *everything* works out of the box, even the special function keys (speaker volume, screen brightness etc, Wifi off/on etc.). I'm really impressed with this. For now I don't see why anyone would need a special Fedora spin for these machines. poc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
