[...] For those who haven’t tracked the last series of posts, I am using an HP mini netbook that requires the Broadcom wireles driver. Like Xubuntu, I installed Lubuntu on a USB external hard drive from a USB stick. Since Xubuntu and Lubuntu appear as Ubuntu in the Grub menu, I had to do a little editing of the Grub2 configuration files in /etc/grub.d. I document these changes in my article Booting Linux from a USB External Drive. [...]

The fix I mentioned in the article is a temporary work around. I documented a permanent fix in the latest article. I discovered that even though I turned off automatic update, the Android Market decided to install the update the next day. I saw the download occurring and implemented a permanent fix before rebooting.

Comment on Command Order of Precedence by Bill Anderson

Also note that not all executable scripts are automatically picked up, especially on small boxes with flash drives. For example to find a script on /usr/local/bin you may have to exit the command session and log back in.

Since the same is not true of /bin, and the tools will show up correctly in an ls -l then ah hoc development can be a bit mystic.

After an early morning su update, Pulse worked. Can’t verify if it was the update that made the difference or not. I switched two of my GMail accounts to the GMail app. It is faster than the B&N Mail app, and I have access to all my contacts. I am only leaving none GMail accounts on the Mail app.

I have noticed that the NC seems to run faster.

Nooting was definitely worth the time and effort.

With everything working, it is time to research the Ad Hoc WiFi issue.
