    Re: Starling SD Card Reader Doesn't Work

    Embarrassingly enough, I just tried another SD card and it mounted without a hitch.

    Is the card reader SDHC compatible? The one I was trying was 8GB, while the one I just tried was 1GB.

    Re: Starling Netbook

    I second that - I found it very helpful. Wish the powersupply was 12V DC output instead of 19V DC though. (Oh well. Can't have everything.)

    The only thing I might improve with this guide is to...
