How to install Rails on the EEEPC subnotebook part 2 (17 mar 10)
This is about a Rails project with gruff graphics in it.
After a day messing around with gruff and RMagick, I finally decided that the Xandros distro which comes with the EEEPC is too idiosyncratic. Forget all the hacks I had to do to make Rails work with this bizarre version of Linux - I decided to make all my machines UBUNTU.

Remove any little SIM cards you've got stuck in your machine, then shove the USB card containing Ubuntu into the slot, then reboot, hit F2 when it says 'hit F2 for setup' and manouver around the menus 'til you find 'boot sequence'. Set the first boot disk to 'Removable' and set the 'boot order' with 'Removable' at the top.
I had to reboot several times, hitting F2 when the computer started up, and selectiing the hard drive as the first boot drive, removing the USB card and the little SIM card to make sure the computer booted from the hard drive on which I'd just installed Ubuntu.
Then to get Wireless Networks to connect, I had to follow the instructions here:

Now the fun begins...
First create file install.sh, which looks like this:
--------------------------
#!/bin/bash
DIR=`pwd`
FILENAME=$1
doIt()
{
wget "$FILENAME"
FILENAME=`basename $FILENAME`
tar xvfz $FILENAME
FILENAME=`echo $FILENAME | sed 's/\.tgz$//'`
FILENAME=`echo $FILENAME | sed 's/\.gz$//'`
FILENAME=`echo $FILENAME | sed 's/\.tar$//'`
echo ""
echo "Installing $FILENAME"
echo ""
cd $FILENAME
sudo ruby setup.rb all
./configure
ruby extconf.rb
make
sudo make install
cd $DIR
}
if [ "" == "$1" ] ; then
echo "Give as an argument the URL of a tgz or tar.gz file"
echo "It will download, unzip, make and install the software"
exit 1
fi
DIR=`pwd`
FILENAME=$1
doIt
--------------------------
then
export PATH=.:$PATH
DIR=`pwd`
