I want to put a distribution on my TabletPC. I intend to use Knoppix to do something like Linux From Scratch and compile my own distribution from source. I am having some issues however, and I don't know much about the reasons why.

The first issue I am having seems to be a Vista-relate problem. I cannot resize the partitions from within Vista. I have over 100GB free space on a 250GB 5400RM SATA drive. I have tried disk cleanup, checkdisk, and I have tried to partition immediately after defragging.

The second issue I have is that I need my wireless to work. I can't even figure out which chipset I have because diffrent OSes report the hardware differenty.

The third issue is that I have yet to see the touch screen work in Linux. This is a tablet PC. I have seen tablet PCs work in Linux. I just don't know how to make mine work. I assume that there's some sort of application tied into the desktop environment that I chose to try at the time.

The fourth issue is that I would like to maintain full functionality of the internal multi card reader.

I don't much care if the fingerprint reader works, or if the bluetooth remote control works.

Any suggestions?
