[indiana-discuss] OS 2008.05 on EeePC 900

[Gilles Gravier]

I decided to use the latest... which works.

The web site isn't very clear... but methinks that the one you point 
used is very old (files dated April)... and the 0.7.3 is dated July... 
and, in fact, it does work. :)

After upgrading from 93 to 94, I had to re-install it again...
