Yes, it got hot enough to be uncomfartable just now while I was surfing in Starbucks. So those of you who says it's not hot, do more wireless surfing, I think the heat should be coming out from the RAM modules.

Anyway I had an interesting problem just now, some of my USB drives weren't working, kept giving me an "Access denied" message, I thought it was something I did after trying out the various patches and hacks on the net.

Then I noticed something, on my friend's unit, his Internet tab has an eBook icon. Mine DIDN'T! I did a reinstall from the recovery disc and now the eBook icon is there, and I'm able to use all my USB drives again.

So, all you people who did get the eeePC.. do you have an eBook icon in the Internet tab? If not, before you rush to install from the DVD again just quickly goto the settings tab and check out Systems info and see what are your version numbers.

mine got ebook icon USB ports working i.e. with notebook cooler and mouse

guys, a friend of mine said he had problems playing RMVB files.

could you guys give it a try?

i cant play Real media files on mine.....

real media files is always a pain in the arse on every platform...

in windows, u need their player.
in mac os x, u need thier player.
i assume u need their player on linux as well.....

To play RMVB files.. well someone made an easy installer.

Go here :- http://rt.openfoundry.org/Foundry/Project/...load/?Queue=863

download the 0.0.3 version, then find where u downloaded it to, right click on the gz file and select extract all, it'll extract the files into a lazyeeepc folder, enter that folder and you'll see another folder, and a file as well, a python file, double click the python script file.

it's in chinese, ensure the first option with the word debian is checked, then ensure the last option with the word rmvb is checked.

It will now start to download files from the internet.. it WILL take some time, it'll pop up a mesasgebox with a lightbulb once it's done.

just curious when will the EEpc be widely available. Has all launch units sold out.

Try aMSN..! its for Linux and for OSX and it allows you to use the webcam

Why not pidgin? I prefer it over aMsn

Me n My GF just gotten it from pavillion, not much unit left, so who wants to get it better be fast

hey, can i know if i plug in the memory card, it wil detected at file manager there right?
mine 1 no wor.. got problem with it? using micro sd...

I use pidgin but how to enable webcam on it. I think there are few drawbacks of pidgin.

It should appear as a link under the My Documents folder, but just a question... is there an eBook icon on your Internet tab?

bro cant install the RMVB plug-ins
after clicking the program and checking the mention boxes, proceed but nothing came up
waited for sometime also no activity, browsing thru task manager also cannot find tat program running

need help!!!

Just did a userbar, not satisfied, if got time will do another

hahaha

forgot to bring my wallet yesterday at Pavillion. Most of my plan yesterday is ruined

got mine yesterday after friday prayer. The linux was nice and fast but I went back and formatted it with WinXP ( need to run some windows program for my work). XP speed is quite OK ( tho I haven't yet installed any other program xcpt firefox and YM), but need to switch off system restore and the virtual memory kept low or else not much space left on the disk. Now I got 1.9gbyte left. I also notice on XP the 'disk access' LED lights up more frequently.

The palmrest (its too small to put my palm) can get quite hot after a while.

The webcam is especially nice for YM.
