Why do you want CentOS on an EeePC ? It's not really intended for
that purpose, if your having to ask where to get the drivers for it
your probably not suited for running CentOS on the EeePC. Your better
off with Fedora, or Ubuntu or something that has broader hardware
support.
I installed Ubuntu 9.04 netbook remix on my EeePC 2G surf yesterday(onto
a 4G SD card), it was pretty painless although the general UI has too much
eye candy, so it is choppy. The wiki says future kernel updates should
address some of the sluggishness.
