Yet another way to install Ubuntu 7.10 to ASUS Eee PC
Submitted by srlinuxx on Sun, 11/11/2007 - 20:53.
The ASUS Eee PC model 701 (Pearl colour) comes with the following configuration :
Intel Celeron 630MHz CPU (someone in the net is reported as 900MHz)
4GB SSD hard drive
512MB RAM
1 X SD/SDHC/MMC card reader
3 X USB ports
1 X webcam
1 X VGA out
Step 1 :
I installed Ubuntu 7.10 SE (my remastered Ubuntu) on a Transcend 8GB Class 6 SDHC card with a no hard drive desktop computer as usual. My desktop is using mobile rack and it is very easy to remove the hard drive. Make sure to use ext2 and without creating swap partition.
After the installation, I deleted the xorg.conf at /etc/X11 to make the SDHC capable to run on every computer. You can delete the file after the reboot from the SDHC on the no hard drive desktop.
sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Step 2 :
Many confusions of ASUS Eee PC laptop ? 630-900 mhz ?
It shows the problem of Intel cpus not meeting the temperature bin out tests for ASUS laptops.
It reminds us the many problems of AMD cpu silicon chip and its residue stress; causing many motherboards to crash and self destruct in a short time after silicon cracked.
Obviously, ASUS had no incoming QC of Intel cpus delivered?
Mismatched resolution from xorg, caused fussy pictures and misplaced layouts on the screen?
Function keys are programmed by keyboard maps?
