Good luck dude. I've been screaming this from the goddamn mountaintops since I was turned onto this distro. It's so minimal and clean, easily the best implementation of E16/17 and ideal for older systems especially the first gen netbooks... It kills me that the forums are a ghost town.

1.0 (stable) boots/installs/works correctly, but wireless support is sub-par and won't detect either of my Broadcom-based PCMCIA cards. 1.9 (dev) detects the wifi card and connection to the net is a breeze, except now I can only achieve 800x600 resolution.
