#Windows 7 starter iso for toshiba nb205 n325bl windows#Actually if you google it, the Windows users also complain of low speaker volume. The major challenge with this particular netbook, for Linux users, is audio. Very nice! I installed cheese and observed that the webcam "just works". Marvelous! I installed samba, and with wireless networking running, used the new smb-browser (a modified thunar) to explore my local network, found my shared folder on my Kubuntu system, and was able to mount it and access my data. I only had to enter my WPA PSK in wicd, and I was connected to my wireless router. I next installed wicd, rebooted, and was amazed to discover that wireless networking (roaming mode) was already fully functional - no twiddling /etc/network/interfaces or /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_nf needed. Then I installed gsynaptics and used it to disable the tapping mode. A little research found a useful touchpad definition file for HAL, which I installed in /etc/hal/fdi/policy. ![]() After running updates and starting to play, I noticed that merely moving the mouse cursor on the desktop sometimes caused the "left-click" menu to appear. 1.9.47, a Debian "stable" distribution (uses a 2.6.30 kernel), which installed from Live CD without incident - it correctly detected all the hardware in the Toshiba, and automatically selected a very suitable video mode. ![]() I thought seriously about a Xfce desktop for the Toshiba, which is what is on my Asus EeePC 701/4G, but that is soooo spartan, that I wanted to try something with a little more eye-appeal. The Kubuntu 9.10 NBR daily build site was not cooperating over the past weekend, so I test-installed sidux 2009-02 with KDE4, but even though sidux is typically very fast, I found the KDE4 desktop a tad sluggish on the Toshiba. I booted the Ubuntu Netbook Remix (NBR) 9.10 Beta Live CD, 3 OCT daily build, but that desktop is just not to my taste. #Windows 7 starter iso for toshiba nb205 n325bl driver#I assume the Windows motherboard driver gives it a frequent "poke" to keep it from falling asleep during booting - but Linux users will have to tickle it to the login prompt. It is not particularly noticeable during normal use - assuming one uses the NB205 for normal netbook activities. It is a minor annoyance during booting, when it requires a couple of touches to get it all the way to the login. This is a big annoyance during installation and initial package upgrading, when there are long periods when no keyboard input would otherwise be required. This netbook was obviously designed for extreme power efficiency, and incorporates one annoying feature, apparently in the motherboard firmware, which is a frequent "falling asleep" in the absence of keyboard or mousepad input.
