Thanks. Although I stumbled on this and don’t intend to use it, I am heartened by your generosity and diligence in sharing it.

… And the ultimate answer – is yes, you can get it running under Linpus too – http://www.arduino.cc/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1230895424/0 <— scroll down quite a way to reply posted by corone.

The key bit is that Linpus is missing the the FTDI kernel module.

@chris w, thank you for you notes.
I love the dark side .
Yes, I’m probably getting rid of Linpus one day.

I managed to install arduino onto my AA1, eventually – basically I followed the standard fedora install sequence.

However, I found that once I rebooted after adding the default user to group UUCP and lock (needed to get access to the usb port) that the AA1 failed to finish its startup into X.

I booted off a usb distro and edited /etc/groups back to its previous state, but after that it still wouldnt boot.

In the end I installed ubuntu 8.04 – the UNR netbook remix instead.

Arduino and processing dropped on fine following the default ubuntu install info.

My advice – use the force, but go over to the dark (brown!) side… load up ubuntu! –

I just tried in a clean (no su) terminal window to make sure :
[user@localhost ~]$ cd /usr/share/
[user@localhost share]$ cd processing-0148/
[user@localhost processing-0148]$ ./processing

and processing starts….
Ciao
