I got a 701C off ebay. It works great, except the battery is corroded in and i got the screw drivers coming (T1 and T6). I am trying to install [censored] Small Linux, i am using loadlin and i am able to get into the part where you are choosing the config but i cant get it to load to the desktop, i just get a black screen and i have to sudo reboot....
any help is greatly appreciated
EDIT: forget that i said sudo reboot to get it to work, i am not all here right now

The brains behind [censored] Small Linux said, [censored] it, and has moved on:

I haven't had the courage to try Tiny Core Linux, but it might be an alternative.
