I have about 80Gb of data (Office docs and such) that I carry with me and I need access to that data at all times. I must be able to connect to just about any network and access network shares on other machines and servers at random. My objective was to build a machine that I can take with me when I travel overseas. My base machine is a AOA 150 Bb (1Gb RAM 120Gb HDD) with Windows XP Home, onto which I loaded Open Office version 3 as well as some other stuff like a small Bluetooth dongle for my cellphone modem. However, what should be a 30 minute job turned out to be a 30 hours ordeal of trial-and-errors before I was back to normal with a working machine – an awesome effort. Because I’m silly I thought it would be nice to convert it to dual-boot so that I can play with linux.
I have a model 150 Acer Aspire One (AA1). This is how I built a dual-boot AA1 … I made every mistake in the book!
