biff...
Thank you the suggestion to use the GNOME icon set.
Microwatt R10 32bit
I used your suggestion to use the GNOME icon set.
The installer icons are now the proper size,
but the installer window is still too large for eeepc.
On the installer 'Welcome' screen,
I can see only the 'Quit' and 'Back' buttons.
I changed the monitor preferences to 640x480.
That was worse, only the 'Quit' button.
It looks like the install does not scale.
Back to 800x480
ah ha... inspiration ( my first i3 experience, learning much )
toggle floating ($mod+Shift+space) BEFORE starting installer
now I can $mod+mouse move the windows to see the buttons!
ok eeepc here comes Microwatt R10
![Smiley :)](https://planetwatt.com/newforum/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)
solution:
+ start from install media (usb flash)
+ [Tab] to edit options, add 'forcepae'
+ turn off display blanking and lock screen
+ change to GNOME icon set
+ toggle floating $mod+Shift+space ! BEFORE installer !
+ start Installer Microwatt-R10
+ position windows $mod+mouse to see buttons
+ skip 'Download updates...'
+ skip 'Install third-party...'
+ partition 4.0G ssd swap 256M ext2 remaining
& wait...
+ 'Restart Now'
! success
+ sudo -s
+ apt update
+ apt upgrade
+ reboot
+ sudo apt-get autoremove
= ram used 70M total 1G
= ssd used 2.2G available 1.2G swap 242M
! VERY responsive
! wire and wifi ok
& edit i3 config add bindsym
& copy i3block to home and edit (make room in i3status bar)
* play... thank you biff
