Hardware / Re: New laptop for Arca os

I can wait a few more months for the new laptops.
I am also impatient for the new version of Arca OS, the one which boots from USB

I think that would be great since it seems optical drives are on the way out and it is not easy finding a computer that still has one.

I was able to install ArcaOS on a laptop using an USB optical drive. It has wifi but does not see it. I have a printer and will see if it works with it.

Hardware / Acer Aspire One Computer Review?
« on: October 11, 2017, 04:55:16 pm »
I found a site that has a review of the Acer Aspire One.
http://www.notebookreview.com/notebookreview/acer-aspire-one-review/
It seems similar to what I have. The article as information / specs on the laptop.

Hardware / format a flash drive?
« on: October 07, 2017, 06:16:21 am »
I did the 'pci.exe < pciout.txt' thing. Now I am trying to get it to a flash drive to post here. It sees the flash drive but says it is not formatted correctly. It has been awhile since I formatted a flash drive in OS/2 - eCS. I am looking in ArcaOS to where it is done. A little help in how it is done is appreciated.

Hi

Please post back the pci.exe report like : "pci.exe > pciout.txt" so I can post it on the OS2World wiki. Also with the wifi hardwareId we can get a hint if the card is supported in some way.

Regards

I will try the PCI.exe and report back with results.

Thanks about the information on the wallpaper change.

Hardware / ArcaOS 5.0 on an Aspire One Computer.
« on: October 01, 2017, 12:18:27 am »
I finally got around to trying the ArcaOS 5.0 operating system. It is on an Aspire One D255E with an Intel Atom N455 (1.6 ghz) with 512 KB cache, 1 GB DDR3 memory, 250 GB HDD, and a 6 cell Li-On battery. It has sound. I can use an USB mouse. I don't think it sees / detects the wifi port.

I tried to change the wallpaper but I have yet to find where it is that changes it.

With eCS, it did not see a flash drive that was attached. I will see if it does or does not.

I am so glad it works with it. The next step is to tweak it. Perhaps upgrade to 5.01? I will try different software with it. It can use the USB optical drive.

I am one happy nerdy camper.

Applications / Re: How to fit ArcaOS 5.0.1 ISO into a CD

How old is this old computer? What is the make and model of this old computer?

I think this is neat. I like the 'eraser head' track pin. I like it better than using the touchpad. I am still trying to get used to a touchpad but I prefer using a mouse; wireless nowadays. Perhaps call it retro?

Hi

Do you mean the text and headers of this page?
http://www.os2world.com/forum/index.php

I will check out it, but I would not include Blue Lion, since it will be called ArcaOS :)
So it will be OS/2, eCS and ArcaOS.

Regards

I think ArcaOS sounds better than Blue Lion.

Just say... "OS/2 and derivatives".

For search bot purposes, OS/2, eComStation and ArcaOS are still going to be mentioned in posts post headings anyway.
:)

I think that is a good idea.

General Discussion / Change the Forum Headings?

Perhaps one could change the forum headings from 'OS2 eCS' to OS2 eCS BL' so that Blue Lion is considered part of it?
 ;D

They might not be new but there are a couple of laptops with eComStation pre-installed.

Arca Noae has software for eCS - OS/2
https://www.arcanoae.com/

It would be nice to get a computer with eComStation or Blue Lion pre-installed.
