Setup & Installation

Before you install...

You must first select an appropriate distrobution based upon what you currently have installed on your EeePC.

Please note the different kernel flavours:

eeepc

Most closely related to the generic Ubuntu kernel. Very few features contained in the generic kernel were removed from the eeepc kernel. This was done to ensure compatibility with non-standard EeePC hardware (like USB wireless connectors, USB cd/dvd-roms, touchscreens, etc.)

eeepc-lean

Indicates only the bare-minimum EeePC-related configuration options are enabled. Most of the drivers normally compiled in as modules in the generic/eeepc kernels have been compiled in-line. This kernel typically responds faster and requires less boot-up time.
