Hi to all,i'm newbie in Eee PC,just got it

suppose i want to watch *rmvb movie on it,

1) to download the " lazyeeepc_0.0.4.1.tgz ",install it, OR
2) follow the instructions here > "http://eeelinux.blogspot.com/2007/11/lazyeeepc_26.html"

i just found another forum saying we can install Real Player which specially make for Xandros Linux as in Eee PC.The link is here :

http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?pid=95477

however,someone mentioned there's only sound but no video when streaming *rmvb but after installing the "W32Codec",everything is fine.

My questions:

1)is this better then the one recommend by our forumer here,which u dun have to install Real Player but using the default player to play the *rmvb?

2)Where can i found files like "/usr/lib "? Do i need to "type" in root? How can i copy/paste the "drvc.so" file?


Another useful tips to change desktop apprearances,

but i stuck at #SECTION 1,instruction 3,"Navigate to the folder /opt/xandros/share/" < how can i navigate to that folder?


Sorry for newbie Qs bit i'm really new in this

Anyone,please?

SELF ANSWER AGAIN !!!! Hope this help for those who just got his Eee PC,still running on Xandoras Linux and wish to watch *rmvb on it.

Thanks to marauderz(where is he? long time didnt see he post),the link given is correct

1)download the latest 0.0.4.1 version

2)If u know how to read Chinese,follow the step by step tutorial,the link : http://eeelinux.blogspot.com/2007/11/lazyeeepc_26.html (even u dunno chinese,u can still follow the pics attched,it's quite simple)

3)after double click the lazyeeepc.py ,it take quite long to finish the process,roughly about 3-4 minutes,just be patient.

4)restart the E PC after that,now u can watch *rmvb in ur E pc,enjoy !!!

after gathering informations on "installing Window XP on Eee PC",i'm thinking of installing XP on it as well. But i hv some questions for that,newbie ma :

1) Which will u recommend,full window XP SP2 or nLite XP? ( If running on 1G RAM and 4G SDHC)

2)B4 installing XP,u need to set "bios of OS installation" to "start" and after end,set it to "end"? ( that's when Eee still in Lunix,rite?)

3)Is it recommend to create a 100MB(or bigger?) ram disk as temparary internet storage?

4)Is it better to turn off paging file?

5)How to create "123MB for fixed ram drive"(or bigger?)

6)How to set "paging file 64max, IE, XP temp to ram drive, firefox cache dir to ram drive too" ?

7)Is it recommend to change ram from 1G to 2G and add a 4G SDHC/8G SDHC?

Thank u very much

Thanks splua333 for the detail informations,thanks

I dun think i'm good enuf for nLite,so will only install full XP,about *5,will try to ask uncle Google but if anyone know it,pls share,thanks in advance ya

thanks veon for the info

saw lots accessories for Eee PC,should be able to get it soon

http://www.blogeee.net/2008/01/14/exclu-le...eepc-en-detail/

how to test the speed of SDHC card? I oledi ordered A-Data 8G class 6 and will test it on defauly OS on Eee and share if i know how to

That's for those who run Window in Eee PC,rite? I'm still using the default OS...

anyone install SP2 in the SDHC card and keep the default OS in SSD? read information online but it's quite complicated,any more easy way to do it,newbie here

Anyone,please?

At the moment still with its default OS(i really like it QUICK start Up and Shut Down),i mainly use it for IE and play movies,especially *rmvb that i downloaded online

thanks for the reply,after installing nLited XP,anyone mind to share what's the start up(from the time u press power button till the led stop blinking) and shup down time?

another question,anyone use Eee PC for watching video clips in cars? What's the adaptor u used for charger Eee in car? I saw the origibal AC charger stated @680mAh,9.5V output,is it ok that we use DC/DC car adaptor @300mA,9 or 12 V?

or is there any compatible incar charger for Eee?

thanks in advance

thank u very much for sharing splua333

BTW,anyone using Eee PC for in-car video clip viewing so far? What's the in car charger u use?

thanks in advance

ya,i read this b4 but seems like it's still too complicated for Linux newbie like mw? Any other information?

BTW,anyone here install XP on the SDHC instead of default memory?

Sorry for my NEWBIE's Qs,after install the full version of SP2 on Eee,what are the 1st few things u need to do? What's the resolution u re setting? PLS HELP !!!

For me,after installed all the drivers,i follow excactly the instructions in Eee's manual book,

Change Virtual Memory > Turn Off Sys Restore > Compressing Disk Drive > Relocating Files > Delete Unnecessary Components > Clearing System Backup Data > Delete Unnecessary Doc Files > Cut the listed Files and backup in SDHC.

After this,i also follow " http://wiki.eeeuser.com/windowsxp " ,under "Installation method to keep SSD writes to a minimum"(some steps are same as in Eee Manual).

Then,i try to increase the resolution to 1024 x 768 (http://wiki.eeeuser.com/how_to_enable_1024x768_and_increase_dpi) but after download the driver,i cant "Update Driver" by Right Click the Display Adapter(only "scan for hardware change" & Prpperties),pls advice.

Any other tweaking i need to do? May i know u guys install Microsoft Office on it? (or openOffice?) What anti-virus u guys using? What's the MUST HAVE application which fit perfect in Eee? (of course must be small lor)

I know some might say that depends on what u want to do with ur Eee . Ok,say i want to type some simple letter (like what i did in Excel,Words,Power Point),watch movies(including *rmvb and most commend format ),surfing online...........


Pls recommend

thanks in advance

thanks everyone for the valuable informations,i'm sure lots of us will benefit from it

now i have some idea what i should install after flash to SP2.To make it clear,

1)Suppose i need to watch *rmvb and other format video on Eee,is K-Lite Megapack the most recommended one? All video files can open with Window Media Player after installing the Codec mentioned? (i'm using "StormII" to view video on my current desktop) OR do i need to installed other player like "Media Classic Player"?

2)Between OpenOffice and normal Office,which is more recommended? (i actually need Excel or Power Point too)

3)Will install Pidgin for MSN,Yahoo....

4)WinRAR for extract *** installed
5)Sumatra Port, Foxit Port or Adobe for PDF,which one more recommended?

6)AntiVirus (Either AVG or NOD32)

7)I try to install Driver download online to get 1024x768 display but i cant "update" the driver(like i mentioned in previous post),any idea how can i get it done? *** Solved,like mentioned in 8)

8)By default,i try to set the resolution to 800x600 but everytime after i shut down it come back to 800 x 480 again...how should i keep the 800 x 600? I found not so frendly even with 800 x 600 setting,need to scrool up and down,any better way? (but why with default Linux dont hv such problem?) *** Problem solved,got scaled & non-scrolling 800x600 nowThank u very much.

Added on February 21, 2008, 11:23 amhi xeNOS,

yes,manage to get 800 x 600 and 1024 x 768 scaled/non-scrolling.The font are ok(not so ugly/weired/compress).I'm using CorelDraw Screen Capture for my desktop to capture some screen shot but dun dare to install on Eee cos seldom use.Can anyone recommend a tiny Screen Capture application and i can show u guys the whole pics if u are interested.For those who want to have a try,just download the Driver and follow step-by step instruction here :

http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=14652

i failed for the 1st 2 times cos downloaded the wrong driver becos if u go to the WIKI section,there're more then one Driver there.

Hope this helps.

Just to confirm,the 4G and 4G SURF(both white) have different finishing for the casing and 4G SURF didnt come with the sleeve case,rite?
