Hi Here's what I wrote for the orca list: Orca and Asus EEE PC Hi I've been playing with my Asus eee PC and had a very frustrating time with it. I intend upon putting something the wiki but a little busy at the moment. In short here's what I found. Don't try following the howto's: Installing Gnome on the preinstalled system. Don't use the eeeXUbuntu image. What does seem to work: Installing Gutsy standard iso. However, it nearly fills the 4Gig disk space and you have a machine without wireless support and the advanced power management stuff. I've now installed debian and built a gnome system with the latest debian unstable orca package, which has used 59% of disk space. So I'm guessing by the time I've installed Open Office and Firefox the disk will be full again. You can see my requests for help on the eee user forum, my username is linux-maiden. Until I can establish a simple method, it's not for the faint hearted. Asus have used: The Atheros wireless driver: Search for the Madwifi for linux support. The on board Ethernet uses the atl2 driver that has to be built and installed. While not very difficult it is a pain. There's a lot more than the internet connectivity that requires attention.
