hello mark

thanks for your reply.

I believe it was showing USB FDD, i was using Sony 8GB USB,

I will try another USB tomorrow and see how i get on.

Thanks again

Okey Dokey .. Good Luck

I have noticed that the cheaper USB sticks tend to be recognised by the AA1 better than some of the branded ones .. but really it's probably just luck of the draw.

Mark,


Finally installed Peppermint Three   


Another USB worked which was formatted to NTFS.

Now trying to install skype, when i run sudo apt-get update

then sudo apt-get install skype

it comes back with e:unable to locate package skype   

Thanks mark
