I'm continuing where I left off in this thread.
Machine is Asus 1015E-DS03.
I've pulled the Ubuntu 12.04 HD, have a blank ssd installed ready for action. I'm typing this from a live usb Trollinger32. No real problems with that.
First choice for install to the SSD is Darkside64.
When I booted a Darkside64 live usb, these issues stopped progress:
1) Thunar recognizes neither USB keys nor SD card plugged in. Unplug, plug in again, no difference. When plugged in, these devices were visible in Darkside64 with GParted.
2) No wifi - discussed in previous post, see above link. Tint2 does not show the wireless connection icon thingie - that's the technical term, right? Plan b: plug in usb Edimax wifi dongle to see if that works, no joy.
I'll likely be away from the web for the next half day or so - I'll check back then. Overnight I'm going to check if CB11 - 64 has the file manager glitch. I know wifi won't work out of the box...
Happy grillin'

Re: Darkside64 issues
Hello,
1) try with usbmount (ins usbmount) which should work in most cases (also see http://www.linuxbbq.org/bbs/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=360)
2) the wireless icon thingie is usually not needed, and broken thanks to gtk3. open a terminal to manage wireless via Ceni - the Edimax wifi dongle will probably work with these instructions: http://www.linuxbbq.org/bbs/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=363
Happy borking.

Re: Darkside64 issues
Update on the broadcom equipped devil.
Using MB's instructions, I did manage to get wifi working in Crunchbang 11 64bit (live usb), using this wheezy package.
Hey, it ain't BBQ, but that's one hurdle passed.
As to Darkside64, these tips:
1) try with usbmount (ins usbmount) which should work in most cases (also see viewtopic.php?f=6&t=360)
2) the wireless icon thingie is usually not needed, and broken thanks to gtk3. open a terminal to manage wireless via Ceni - the Edimax wifi dongle will probably work with these instructions: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=363
... uhh, kind of circular, non? I'd have to get online with the Darkside install to do the sudo apt-get install usbmount Can't mount any usb to install the BCM package to get online. Seems I'm stuck.
Or what obvious step am I missing with my feeble brain?
Again, I'm super stoked to have your help at least get this pensi-faced BCM working with #!
Thanks!
Edit: I should be back at it tomorrow. Thanks, guys.

Re: Darkside64 issues
The feeble brain can download the required packages manually, store them on his hard drive's other internal partition, then boot into Darkside, mount the partition there, and dpkg -i (install via dpkg) the packages that got previously downloaded :) Or did my feeble brain miss a crucial step? :) No internal partition? Then do it from a live session of a 32bit (or whatever works), install usbmount with a working internet connection, save the file on the external drive (not using apt-get but downloading it from Debian's packages website) :)
(by the way, bin there, dun that)
