Sausages and lemons [Lobsterian cussing/swearing]
Just checked out the ipad power supply again . . .

It has a USB and I have the USB to micro SD cable
it is rated as 5.1v and 2.1A

I thought it was 10v - I am sure I checked it out on the Apple site
- oh well, time to up medication to the red pills (only thing is I imagined those pills too) Wink

I am told that 5.1v is acceptable for the Raspberry?
2.1A would be good.
Would have saved £6 for power supply yesterday
Would 5.1v caramelize the raspberry?

You mean I was only out by 1? Embarassed

I used your suggestion rcrsn51
You are right Cool

It worked and I was able to install to a 2GB SD card from Puppy and boot from that. Very Happy

Why is it displaying sdc1 on screen (the parameter I used) and yet sdc is the correct input?

In Debian Squeeze
I need to be su to use apt-get or aptitude

Tried return (no password)
raspberry (it should be this surely)
and suse (I think that was for the previous debian not sure why)

None of those work - got to find the Squeeze password Rolling Eyes

Sugarpuffs and lemons [more cussing from the Lobsterian depths]

Any ideas/clues?

Thanks guys this is the procedure I successfully used
to get mtpaint running.
Did not want to change the password.
There are quite a few terminals in Squeeze and I eventually used the first one available 'Lxterminal'

sudo su
(password = raspberry)
apt-get update
apt-get install mtpaint

mtpaint (as an example)
can then be run from the terminal

im glad that the Pi has analogue video output (i can use my TV!!) and USB port and a proper ethernet connector.

What springs to mind here is the potential to create a linux gaming platform similar to a console like the Xbox or PS2 etc. Consoles in the past have always had sucky CPU and RAM but good video chip, just like the Rasp Pi.
The Rasp Pi will be shipping with a case soon so it will even kind of look like a console.

after creating a small server / console pussy linux for this device, i will proceed to see just what selection of gaming software runs well on it and then release an OS that has the best ones all installed and working.

I have one of these thingies ordered and now its just a matter of time.

sickgut

hope you are not stressing.

I know about stress. My adrenals are maxed out just because a bit of hardware was doing strange things . . .

Basically the 5v 1000mA PSU does not have enough oomph (a technical term) to run the keyboard from the hub . . .
