Eee PC XEPC.org upgrade CD-ROM
February 9, 2008 - 3:49 pmNote: This update CD is now testing phase, although several have been tested in the test machine, but it may fail to update (that is, failed to update it, no harm), if there are problems, please let me know.
Why is there such an upgrade CD?
1. Eee PC's hard disk partition in particular ways
- At the beginning of the 2.5G for read-only, it can not be written into the general update
- Behind the 1.4G can be written for all to update, users have to write their own data in this partition
2. The second partition size is limited, only 1.4G, if we do has been updated, users can use the space on a very small
3. BIOS by F9, is done by the second partition to format, it will be gone before the update
4. The best way is to update the update directly to write the first partition, do the benefits of 2
- Users can use more space
- F9 after the reduction will not disappear
Pre-update:
1. For this update is similar to the Recovery CD to restore the CD approach, they must first of all your files, for example, / home / user / file Kaodao USB / SD on backup
2. ASUS ready to restore the CD-ROM (Of course, the first time, can also be used to restore the F9)
3. A blank CD to the ISO file burning CD.
4. Burn well, this CD is that we upgrade the CD-ROM!
5. Ready, you come up with the USB drive, connected to a good start Hello!
:
1. BIOS by using F9, or restore the ASUS CD-ROM way to restore the Eee PC into the factory settings.
This case is to restore the CD-ROM 
Reduction in ... 
Restore the first partition, the second partition will be deleted (it must have a good backup!)
2. Restore success, according to Enter restart, but the first not to enter the writers have come up with a good system upgrade CD-ROM, CD-ROM into the drive, the BIOS by "Esc",
Boot menu will appear. 
3. Select CD-ROM drive with USB boot, with restore CDs, you will be asked to update your version of the system to XEPC 20080209. 
4. Did not want to set? Want a good future on the importation of "yes", the beginning of Hello!
Will be upgraded in several stages, will be in conflict with the new version of the software to remove, and then all software upgrades are good,
Another is to install additional, useful software, the final system will be set up to write. This process has to answer "y" it.
5. Some of the old version of the software with the new version of the conflict, will first remove the old version.
6. These are the months since the ASUS software upgrade, you little (compared with XEPC, ha ha)!
7. Install the upgrade version ...
8. Finally, install additional software, and modify the settings of a good system, is complete, according to the will Enter the Reboot,
Do something for the first time to set the boot, you can start using this updated version of the Eee PC operating system.
Look at the disk space, and 1.4G can do!

However, this update method to restore the F9 first time, the first back-up.
There are the first partition of the space has been almost exhausted, leaving only a few dozen MB available.

It seems it would be faster than the ASUS upgrade method.
This is in accordance with the GPL release it? And business customers UPGRADE legal?
By MindWorker on Feb 10, 2008
I put most of the CD-ROM on the deb package (except one or two, that is, outside the codecs), from 3 ways to grasp the package:
1. ASUS server update: For example, Skype, input method
2. Debian software library: for example, zsnes, xmame
3.'s Official upstream version of the software: for example, kdebluetooth, pidgin
The CD itself is to amend the original reduction Asustek CD-ROM, or should be legal.

I would like to ask to buy the 8G version, belonging to the partition 2 of the number of the room?
In addition, if just want to software installed, you need to download the iso file??
By nakazima on Feb 12, 2008
Re: nakazima
Iso file that is the role of everyone to direct the first update to the district,
XEPC.org the past and there are updated together to install the software,
Will facilitate the use and production and reduction.
If you install the software as long as the words with apt-get approach can be.
ISO file and update apt-get update the main difference is the case.
But in the future, we may also use the updated Eee PC
Linux kernel, to be updated kernel can not be used if the apt-get.

I use the upgrade CD-ROM before the back-up "/ dev/sda2" All the East to USB / SD on. About 500M. In the implementation of the upgrade CD-ROM, we should ask whether the USB / SD on the East and West COPY to "/ dev/sda1" get it? Whether elaboration. Thank you very much.
By nyu on Feb 13, 2008
Upgrade CD-ROM can be read into the CD-ROM to restore "the second disc," so the use of pre-prepared first, the use of the ASUS CD-ROM to restore, re-use CD-ROM XEPC.org to do the second phase of the upgrade / amendment to it.
Sda1 because of too little space (about 100M), so the SD and then it is necessary to prepare minutes after the start, go back to their own copy Hello.

Re: eliza
You can install the updates xepc.org CD-ROM, and then start the installation package lazy, but also can be, not conflict.
1. Reduction
2. Install the upgrade CD-ROM
3. Lazy to install package

By eliza on Feb 16, 2008
Wrong
I do not have USB CD-ROM
What can we do?
By eliza on Feb 16, 2008
Re: eliza
In theory can use the USB drive, but the CD image file into a USB drive,
Will be difficult for novices, so for the time being only support USB CD-ROM boot.
If there is no CD-ROM drive, also can be referred to before the apt-get update methods,
Reference to the "new must-read" article.
As for the iPod nano, because DRM like setting, if it is to buy songs,
Or use iTunes ah, Amarok can be loaded inside the iPod's songs,
As well as the songs inside out, or get copies of songs, songs bought on the no.
If the file manager can not see inside the file, use the command to load up before they can use it Amarok management, as long as it's good for the directory containing it.

I would like to ask if I have some would like to remove unwanted software, whether directly sda 1 to remove??
In addition, Software installed on their own whether to sda1??
Thank you to answer!
By Frankie on Feb 20, 2008
Re: Frankie
Yes, any of the Linux boot Live CD will be able to load up inside the chroot, and then dpkg, apt-get, and so on.
But strongly recommended changes, the sda2 empty.
By lazyfai on Feb 20, 2008
I would like to ask ubuntu 7.10 with CD-ROM boot,
To conduct a chroot
How to set
chroot environment, Internet
By eeepc users love on Feb 22, 2008
Re: eeepc love users
Live CD can access the Internet to determine the success of the connection,
File system to load up on the assumption / target under it,
Then / etc / resolv.conf to copy / target / etc,
Then / proc, / dev, / sys are
mount-o bind / proc / target / proc
mount-o bind / dev / target / dev
mount-o bind / sys / target / sys
And then be able to implement chroot / target apt-get update and
chroot / target apt-get install xyz such a move.
By lazyfai on Feb 22, 2008
Thanks to a few of the original resolv.conf

I would like to ask if you want to chroot in the next line interface to make plans, how to set up
By eeepc users love on Feb 23, 2008
Re: eeepc love in the graphic user interface has been under, chroot can not be used after the graphics interface.
In fact, some of the chroot is only used for "emergency" action, to do a good job after the restart should be used.
By lazyfai on Feb 23, 2008
Thank you very much,
I learned a lot here,
Chroot directly to do with some of the epc update on the first partition ssd can save a lot of space,
By eeepc users love on Feb 23, 2008
Re: eeepc love While chroot users can update sda1 but there will be some problems, the problem is the reason for its "unionfs".
For example, / etc / passwd file is in sda2 above, so if the installation of a new deb package,
What are the new user to join, it will only add to sda1 on the / etc / passwd, reboot,
The system will not care about the new user.
There are a lot of problems, I would like to organize a new look and then click on the article.
By lazyfai on Feb 23, 2008
In fact, really wanted to "unionfs" this thing out (but I do not know how to do),
If all the 4G system installed on the other mount an 8G the sd card as a second partition to create a user directory, with ln-s connection to / home / user / My Document, can be fitted with a lot of needs Ssd on the use of the software, can maintain its own files on the sd card, will not be hard-pressed to live in often ssd.
Originally intended to direct the use of ubuntu, but some seem not driven approach, and epc really pretty easy to model, want to change.
By eeepc users love on Feb 23, 2008
CD-ROM drive does not really very difficult.
The clonezilla If you can DEBLLiveHelper to work with, it should be easy. ... ... Look forward to in

Hello! Hello, I am left with only your upgrade CD-ROM, which is very convenient, to continue their efforts!
The following are a few issues, please help:
1: I used eeepc900 (HK ver.), But how to back the multi-touch function?
2: SD CARD card can not be read, in the next update of a CD-ROM can be resolved?
3: Can quick to join them?
4: I suggest only in the CD can choose to upgrade to 4G and 16G separate or combined?
As a result of my new system, so there are too many demands in the hope of each of the A solution!!
THANKS!!

Re: MingHo
1.900 of the touch pad with 701 different drivers may have to re-install xfree86-driver-synaptics this package:
sudo apt-get install xfree86-driver-synaptics-reinstall
However, the next upgrade should be able to let 701 with 900 can be used.
2. SD can not read, then you can enter a command: sudo udevtrigger
This is the ASUS recently caused an update should be amended soon.
3. Have to wait, gcin should be accelerated plug-ins can be added to google to look for the next version will try to join.
4. The degree of difficulty somewhat, because the original OS has not merged with the support of the hard disk, it is necessary to make some corrections can.
