Looks like you have had some good suggestions on your problem; however,
it prompted me to search the CentOS site for OQO.  Seems most of the
references are related to your posts on this list since you got 4 in
Sept. 2008.  There's no info on the Wiki.

After you get past the current crisis, please consider creating an OQO
page under
