Installing Sabayon Linux (gentoo flavor).
06/08/2010
Finally I got Sabayon Linux working on my Asus EeeTop PC ET2002T.
Thing was, I upgraded the windows version to windows 7 ultimate and enabled Dynamic Disks.
More about those here:
windows.microsoft.com::What-are-basic-and-dynamic-disks
Anyway, no partition editor was able to change this back (like gparted, fdisk, partition magic etc etc). So I was rather frustrated about this because I wanted multiboot but I didnt want to destroy my windows (and all work stuff on it).
Called a friend of mine who is more into these kinda things and (after a backup!!!) he used Partition Wizzard on my machine and converted the dynamic disk back to basic. After making room on my HD for the linux partition I fired up the Sabayon LiveCD and installed it without any problems next to my Windows & Ultimate.
Still need to do some more things like getting touchscreen to work and stuff.. But its cool. Sabayon is based on Gentoo so I expect things to go smooth.
