Installation

The R100 does not come with an internal optical drive. It is usually impossible to boot it from an external drive or USB-stick. To get going, the laptop needs to be booted off a PXE bootserver, as described in the Gentoo documentation [[1]]. Alternatively, some Linux live-CDs, such as SystemRescueCD [[2]], include a pre-configured boot server.

Configuration

Getting Xorg to work correctly

There isn't currently isn't a working 3D driver for Trident, but 2D acceleration works just fine as of xorg-video-trident-1.2.3.

Useful Utilities 

fnfxd -> fn button program for toshiba, with fnfxd you can use the fn+key functions.

slmodemd -> for your modem

laptop mode script -> make your hard disk have less activity which also makes your computer quieter and longer battery life

hdparm -> for tuning up your harddisk

Framebuffer boot splash is working correctly by using vesa-tng driver.

Alsa is working correctly by choosing intel8x0snd kernel modules

useful make.conf entry

INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse synaptics"
VIDEO_CARDS="trident vesa"
ALSA_CARDS="intel8x0 intel8x0m"

if you want to use axel (download accelerator for emerge) "emerge axel"

FETCHCOMMAND="/usr/bin/axel -a -o \${DISTDIR}/\${FILE} \${URI}"
RESUMECOMMAND="${FETCHCOMMAND}"
