[RESOLVED] I'm working on installing SL 10.6.0 on an Eee PC 901 following MK500's guide in this forum. I have formatted a 16GB USB stick and installed Chameleon. I have installed an image of SL by running OSInstall.mpkg. Used Terminal to turn on owner permissions as per guide then copy extensions from Mk500's zip file into S/L/E on the USB. However a number of files don't transfer correctly as they are greyed out and show zero bytes; some transfer okay. Could this be a permissions problem? When I check the Extension folder, I can delete the original and duplicate and then copy file and it appears to transfer okay. I follow the remainder of the guide instructions however when I boot on the 901, it times out at ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin. Any suggested fix?

Used next utility to repair permissions. Now have SL working on Eee PC 901 using USB stick. One key problem remains: can't get WiFi to work.
