Hasta donde entiendo Simply es una empresa que ensambla portátiles en Colombia. (Felicitaciones!)

No es fácil lograr soporte técnico en Internet, los manuales no tiene datos de contacto, su número de soporte parece ser 018000910250

El modelo RI 80 adquirible en almacenes Exito (al menos de Cali) en Feb.2008, tiene Windows Vista Starter Edition preinstalado. Además de las dificultades de compatibilidad de ese sistema, sólo permite ejecutar 3 aplicaciones simultaneamente. Según el soporte técnico de Simply porque es la capacidad del hardware (ver dmesg).

La instalación no ha sido todo menos directa por lo que aquí documento.

# dmesg

!Instalación sistema base

Los instaladores i386 de 4.2 se congelan con un kernel panic al arranque (similar a lo descrito en http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/openbsd/2007-05/2465.html)

El instalador de 4.3 (4.2-current en el momento de este escrito) logra avanzar pero se congelan después de mostrar como monta disco raíz.

Una persona de soporte de Simply encontró que debe deshabilitarse AHCI en el BIOS para que pueda continuar la instalación. Por cierto se pierde la garantía de software cuando se instala algo diferente a Windows Vista SE.

Aunque inicialmente intenté dejar Vista y reacomodar espacio para una nueva partición de OpenBSD, al cambiar el tamaño del sistema de archivos NTFS del Vista con gparted (de un RIP Linux) se estropeó el Windows de forma que (afortunadamente) no arrancó más.


!X-Window

```Xorg -configure``` no detecta una configuración usable, pues no detecta datos del monitor, después de hacer algunos cambios llegué al siguiente ```/etc/X11/xorg.conf```
