Hi

I'm completely new to linux, but not computers. Spent 2 days swimiing in treacle and shedding hair trying to get information to load linux onto an old eeepc 4g 701 surf which I was using with a cut down XP for navigation but as this has been replaced by a tablet I thought I would try breathing life into the old machine.

Finally did mananged to load ANTIX and it does seen stable. Managed to connect the WIFI from previous post her. __{{emoticon}}__

But no luck with bluetooth. Has looked at postings but can find nothing. Can I use the same dongles as with windows? the machine does not seem to see the dongle at all? __{{emoticon}}__

Must admit initial impressions are good.

Might get hooked. PDAs next maybe?

Please issue the following command in Terminal (I'm assuming the adapter / dongle is attached) and root rfkill is not installed then

Hi

went through procedure again and it seemed to do as it should do

at the end the message was rfkill is the lasted ijnssue, or words to that effect

At present unable to send emails from the machine wich makes things rather tendious

But still no bluetooth
