9.04 netbook remix ?

[Dazed_75]

I have an eeePC 1000 that came with the xandros derivative which I dumped
within 24 hours.  I tried a couple of different things but did not like the
NBR.  I had easypeasy next on the list to try but was happy with eeebuntu.
It has been very solid and got everything both working and controllable.

I did not know they had issues with 9.04 and actually upgraded last night.
There was a problem during the upgrade which was kind of messy to fix.
Basicly it had a dependency problem with libc6-dev dependency on libc6 which
was apparently not installed at that time.  I ended up having to do this:

larry at damselfish:~$ sudo apt-get install -f
> [sudo] password for larry:
> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to
> correct the problem.
> larry at damselfish:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
> dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libc6-dev:
>  libc6-dev depends on libc6 (= 2.9-4ubuntu6); however:
>   Package libc6 is not installed.
> dpkg: error processing libc6-dev (--configure):
>  dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

> specify a solution).

to get the upgrade to finish and now I can't turn the bloody touchpad off
though I think everything else seems ok.  I have not looked into that yet.
