Creating the SSD Linux Netbook

[@testing1567]

Here is a little secret about Linux. You can preinstall it on a hard drive and then just put them in the PC you want. It doesn't do hardware detection during install. You can literally put that linux HD into any computer and it will work.

[@Ashton000]

I think Windows 10 can do that. I replaced the motherboard and CPU of one PC and it booted Windows 10 fine from the old installation.

[@Hogdriva]

Windows does this too. i changed my entire setup from an EVGA SR-2 mobo (socket 1366, old) to a VIII Hero with a 6700k. Booted from the same install of Windows just fine. Although, I would not recommend doing this all the time as drivers can conflict/cause errors.

[@testing1567]

It's not exactly the same. Most Linux distros literally doesn't install any custom drivers during the install process. It comes with a set of generic drivers preinstalled that just work on 90% of hardware. After installing it, you can optionally install device specific drivers for increased performance, like Nvidia or ATI drivers, but you don't have to. (Unless you have a broadcom wifi chip. Due to legal reasons, broadcom drivers can't be preinstalled.)

[@Ashton000]

***** If it was "completely wrong", Linux Live CDs/USBs would never work.

Why does it say "Designed for Windows XP" when it has a Windows 7 Style key?

[@Zylonity]

Wow ur right

[@leglaff5096]

7 used the same logo from XP keyboards.

[@xzbane]

Technically it also is a windows XP key. Only thing that strays from XP is the circle around the start key. As an example, look here. goo.gl/DnDXcg

[@adamsfusion]

A lot of netbooks were released when Vista was nearing the end of its life and 7 was nearing release. That was the key used as the super key on lots of keyboards. XP was installed on these tiny netbooks due to the relative slowness of the atom processors and the limited amount of memory. I happen to collect and restore keyboards and typewriters from all parts of history, so it's something I just happen to know a lot about.

[@TimurTripp2]

Windows XP even overlapped Windows 7 a bit on cheap netbooks like that. It took until 2011 for it to be completely replaced by Windows 7 Starter.

[@tryzmsotryll]

i know, but its usb 1.1 loll this computer was made after 1996

[@resneptacle]

trizm 6ix 六 The ports on the computer are most likely USB 2.0, but the floppy drive end (Slave device) only uses USB 1.1, and that's what it's reporting. A floppy drive won't reach higher speeds than 12Mbit/sec, so they didn't bother building in a more expensive USB interface chip with USB 2.0 support

[@tryzmsotryll]

No, I mean in the BIOS it said USB 1.1 port I believe

[@resneptacle]

No, that was the floppy drive's name, like a hard drive is displayed as e.g. "SEAGATE ST0000" (Not a real drive model btw.), so the drive itself said it is USB 1.1, not the BIOS

Put an SSD in an Xbox and install Windows 2000 on it (If that's possible)

[@hypergengar]

It might be possible, but the result is a very slow OS. You have to use QEMU from a Linux terminal on the Xbox.

[@dauf69]

If only someone would develop a complete system firmware mod that enables regular BIOS thus exposing the hardware as a true PC.

[@hypergengar]

StrongarmSlayer This is what I want. Windows 2000 can possibly run on the Xbox, because it has 64 MB of Ram.

[@singleflips]

[@theroundduckman]

+Druaga1 , The reason Lubuntu mounted those "2" (really 1) partitions is because Ubuntu by default mounts a swap partition if it can find one. It's basically your virtual memory and space for hibernation and suspend. Just unmount 'em in gparted.

[@vicr123]

I was sitting there, screaming "that's an extended partition! You don't unmount extended partitions, let alone swaps!" An extended partition contains more partitions inside it. In this case, you had a Linux Swap partition inside it which was "mounted." To "unmount" a swap, you use "swapoff /dev/whatever" Since the swap was on and the swap was contained in the extended partition, you couldn't delete it. :(

[@nicnl255]

I have not finished the video yet BUT an SSD (yes "an") will give great performances improvement even on SATA 1, not because of the bandwidth but because of the latency (around 15ms for a regular hard drive, around 0.1ms for a regular SSD : yeah 150 times faster

[@AceGamer445]

Hey Druaga, just a heads up: I've had a similar experience with Ubuntu freezing after leaving it idle for a few minutes. I figured out it was an issue with the way Linux handles power management for SATA devices. Fortunately it's quite simple to fix, and it doesn't require disabling the power management. All I had to do was update the firmware on the SSD, and once I reinstalled Ubuntu, it stopped giving me problems. This assumes that the firmware shipped on that SSD is not the latest available. Now whether that will fix the issue with formatting, I'm not sure. Nonetheless I would consider giving it a try. 😁

[@rannz7]

[@BobM925]

I was given an ancient 2007ish Fujitsu laptop with XP on it a while ago. Maxed the RAM (2 whole gigabytes) even upgraded the CPU to the fastest it'd run (Pentium dual core something). Of course, I added an SSD. Several distro's of Linux later I was thoroughly depressed with how crap the thing ran, and how impossible it was to get all the hardware to actually work. Eventually I gave it a spare Windows 7 key and got the free 10 upgrade and now it runs perfect all the hardware etc etc. It's even sort of fast-ish. Helped a friend out getting her XP era netbook running again. All she wanted was something running iTunes to sort some crap out on her iPhone. Cheap Windows 10 key and the thing works fine, in fact faster than XP was. Didn't put an SSD in it even though I'd have liked to. She didn't want to spend any more money than necessary on it, which was fair enough. Linux I'm sure is great, but I guess you really have to persevere with it to get the best (or indeed anything) out of it.

[@CyberiadPhoenix]

Enabling trim might help with the SSD's performance if the drive supports it, and I've installed Linux (Zorin OS Lite) on a similar spec'd Toshiba netbook (1GB RAM, Intel atom) and had no issues. setting up ZRAM (compressed memory) should help with RAM usage, installing it is as easy as "sudo apt-get install zram-config" by default it compresses half of the total memory, data that isn't accessed as frequently gets moved into the compressed memory.

1)Old Linux kerner will not work on Intel ATOM CPUS. Only some new kernel has support for ATOM CPUs. :( 2) Never ever make SWAP on SSD , you will ruin it faster. Install on SSD whit only 1 partition. 3) Install an ARCH distro like Manjaro Netbook Edition that will work on ATOM CPUs and is made for it. 4) you can format a SSD whit other PC in only 1 partition and then install Manjaro Netbook Edition, and then place it in the Netbook , it will work. The ideea is to make the install whit other PC and make the update and hardware install after you put the SSD in the Netbook. 5) Try to make that Netbook faster by adding more then 2 GB of RAM so you can use it. 6) Have fun testing it.

The general rule is to add double the swap space for the amount of RAM that you have. In my case I upgraded my two old netbooks from 1 gig of RAM to 2 gigs of RAM and I made a 4 gig swap partition of swap space on each netbook. So if you still own your netbook add one more gig of RAM and create a 4 gig swap partition. It should run faster.. Fast enough to run Supertux which is a super game along with Supertux Kart.. 😀👍 Keep the awesome videos coming (^_-)/

I also installed an ssd to this notebook, and guess what, it is running nicely with Windows 7 Aero Blue Edition. Maybe something for a next video? (Just for fun, for trying?)...

what OS version did that thing had before

[@NekWolfGFX]

I just LOVE these kind of vids!

I think the issue is that EXT4 is difficult for the little Atom cpu to do on its own. I had a similar issue trying to install Linux on my 1012 model. Solved it the same way as you, by pre-partitioning the drive on a separate computer.

What is the software you use to scan the drives?

[@Ashton000]

Gparted. Only available on Linux AFAIK but comes preinstalled with some Linux editions.

[@Ashton000]

And HDTune and CrystalDiskInfo on Windows

Which camera do you use?

[@venichen1]

Not a Druaga1 video without something going terribly wrong! Also, are there AHCI settings in the BIOS that might cause issues with the SSD?

[@kevinbarton9052]

Great idea, lad. I also did that solid state drive upgrade to my Windows 7 netbook with 2GB memory.

Weed references, computers and true comedy! The perfect combination for me!
