Good thing FastLynx can upload itself from my Desktop PC to the WinBook thru it's "upload option" thru a serial cable or COM1 port. Try googling FastLynx version 2.0 , there's a website authorized by the authors of FastLynx to give it for free. This is so handy!

But this WinBook came with FastLynx in it already so I have not experienced uploading that. And I don't have a serial cable. So if all else fails, all devices not detected by linux, you can still transfer large amounts of files thru DOS. Then work your way thru DOS towards a totally Linux everything. I suggest maintain DOS while not yet sure if your troubles are done. I'd say delete Windows but not DOS.
