I would come to help out, only I'm nowhere near London :)

Xandros on the eee is a slightly odd system. Not having used one, the main issues I anticipate might arise are: Installing a compiler and tools Installing the Allegro library (both the runtime library itself and the -dev package that allows you to compile things with it)

I can't seem to find a list of packages available in the eee Xandros, so first I'd try using the default install to grab the packages named in the RPCEmu guide. Here's the procedure: [link]

If that fails, you'll probably have to add some repositories. Try this: [link] That suggests that using vanilla Debian repositories isn't a good idea, but there are others listed.

Good luck! :)

  • Prototype affordable Braille display in development
    A low-cost computer-controlled Braille board has been prototyped by a RISC OS-using university student. Undergraduate Edward Rogers hopes to sell his completed units for as little as 200 quid each to schools and families to allow more blind children to continue learning Braille. And he said he wanted to launch his venture using RISC OS-powered kit before offering a package for other platforms.
