Fedora 13 – btrfs and Asus eee issues

 
I have friend’s Asus eee 701 with only 512 Mb of RAM and 2GB SSD storage. I would like to install Fedora 13 on this netbook and increase SDD performance and speed via btrfs and enabling compression.
 
I immediately stumbled upon some issues:
- Anaconda graphical installed doesn’t support 800×480 resolution
- Anaconda text installer fails on 2GB SDD
- No support for btrfs compression during the install
 
I reported these three issues:

  • RFE: Include btrfs compression option in Anaconda installed
  • Anaconda installed doesn’t fit Asus eee screen (800×480)
  • Anaconda text install fails on 2GB SSD
  •  
    Any help with getting Fedora 13 installed on Asus eee 701 with btrfs + compression is more than welcome.

    DockbarX in Fedora? Yes, please.


    DockbarX brings much needed advancement in terms of dockbar features, ease of use, features and usabillity. This is especially noticable on netbooks where screen real estate is much better handled in DockbarX than in any other dock for Gnome desktop.
     
    DockbarX is DockBar (a TaskBar with grouping and group manipulation) with some “experimental” features. It is not a fork of DockBar. This is just a branch of DockBar holding new “experimental” features.  
     
    The goal of this branch is to bring new and innovative features to enhance the experience of using DockBar in the long run, rather than to bring stability in terms of predictable behavior from a release to the next.
     
    The branch do aim to be as bug free as possible, though, and to be usable for everyday computer usage (for people who are not bothered by rapid changes).
     
    I really hope DockbarX comes to Fedora repositories as soon as possible, this dock is much better than any other on Gnome and works great. Also there are some great themes for DockbarX.
     
    You can also look at Gnome Look page for more info on DockbarX.
