Default re..

I can answer some questions, but the laptop is at the house and I am at work.

First, I don't want to dual boot. I simply want to preserve the original 3 gig partition that holds a compressed image
Of the default OS so I don't have to dig around for the restore disc. As the eeepc ships from the factory with out a cd
Drive, it comes with a recovery partition on the ssd. Instead of booting from a cd you hit F9 during post to stat an
automated restore that it pulls from the first partition on the disk. I am installing onto the second portion without resizing
Any partitions. I simply changed the file system type to A6 and marked it as active. With the label utility I set wd0a to 250m
And mountpoint of /. I labeled the rest as wd0d and mounted /usr. I initialized wd1 whole disk and labeled wd1d 1024m
Mountpoint /tmp. Labeled the rest wd1e mountpoint /home. Initialized sda0 whole disk /var (cheap 2 gig sd card)

Automated restore from ssd still works.

Wow. Typing all that on the blackberry sucked...
