I googled it, and got onto this site; www.i-hacked.com from the EeePC user forum. So I installed "BackTrack 3", on another flash drive I had. It worked very well, in most respects, particularly the wireless network. It has all sorts of hacking type software (I'm not a hacker - wouldn't know where to start) and it's based on Slackware. A first for me and I quite like what I see; but, it will remain as bootable off the usb drive, as I feel that the EeePC, for me, when I travel, is probably better just the way I bought it, for now anyway.	jcr1 (893)
