Eee PC XEPC.org upgrade CD-ROM
February 9, 2008 - 3:49 pmNote: This updated CD-ROM is now testing phase, although in a few test machines tested, but may also update failed (that is updated啦unsuccessful, there is no harm), if there are problems please let me know.
Why is there such an upgrade CD »
1. Eee PC's hard drive division in particular ways
-- The beginning of the 2.5 G read-only, it can not be written into the general update
-- Behind the 1.4 G to be written, all updated, user's own data is written on the partition
2. The second partition size is limited, only 1.4 G, if we have to do to update, users can use the space on a very small
3. BIOS in accordance with the F9, is done by the second partition formatted, before the update will disappear
4. The best way is to update update wrote directly to the first partition, this has two advantages
-- More users can use the space
-- F9 after the reduction will not disappear
Update before the preparation:
1. As a result of this update is similar to the Recovery CD ROM reduction methods, they must be first of all their documents, such as / home / user / Kaodao the file in the USB / SD on backup
2. Asustek's ready to restore discs (of course, used for the first time, the reduction can also use F9)
3. A blank CD, the ISO file burning CD.
4. Burn good, this CD is that we upgrade CD-ROM!
5. Ready, you come up with the USB CD-ROM drive, connect, and began La!
Steps:
1. BIOS to use the F9, or use the CD-ROM Asustek reduction methods, the Eee PC restore the factory settings.
This example is reduction in CD-ROM 
Reduction in… 
Restore the first partition, the second partition will be deleted (Always backup so good!)
2. Reduction successful, press the Enter reboot, but not to enter the system to come up with a good upgrade just burn discs, CD-ROM drive into the BIOS in the "Esc",
Start-up menu will appear. 
3. Choose to use USB CD-ROM boot, with the reduction discs, will be asked if you are not trying to update your system to XEPC 20080209 version. 
4. Did not want to set the «good to enter after" yes ", started La!
Upgrade will be in several stages, first with the new version will be a conflict between the software removed, 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 been answered "y" it.
5. Some older versions of software with a new version of the conflict, will first remove the old version.
6. These are the Asus months since the escalation of software, small bar (with XEPC compared. He)!
7. Install upgraded version of the…
8. Finally, install additional software, and modify your system settings, complete, press the Enter will Reboot,
Do some of the first boot settings, you can start using this updated version of the Eee PC operating system.
Look at the disk space, 1.4 G can be used?

But this method to update先做a reduction F9, the first backup.
Is also available in the first partition of the space has been almost exhausted, leaving only a few dozen MB available.

It seems that it would be faster than the Asus upgrade method.
This is issued in accordance with the GPL? » UPGRADE legitimate businesses and customers? »
By MindWorker on Feb 10, 2008
I put most of the deb package on CD-ROM (except 12, is outside the codecs), are from three methods to grasp the package:
1. Asustek updated server: for example, Skype, the input method
2. Debian software library: for example, zsnes, xmame
3. Upstream version of the software's official: for example, kdebluetooth, pidgin
The CD itself is modified ASUS restore the original CD-ROM, or so it should be legal.

Will buy 8 G version, it belongs to the partition 2 is the number of space »
In addition, if just want the software installed, you need to download the iso file »»
By nakazima on Feb 12, 2008
Re: nakazima
Iso file this is the role for everyone to directly update to the first district,
And the past XEPC.org have updated software to install a fight,
Will be used to facilitate the production and reduction of people.
If so as long as the installation of the software used apt-get approach can be.
ISO file to update and apt-get update the difference is this.
But in the future we may also use the update Eee PC
Linux kernel, to be updated kernel can not be used if the apt-get.

I use the reserve before the upgrade CD-ROM "/ dev/sda2" Goodies to all the USB / SD on. About 500 M. In the implementation of CD-ROM upgrades, will be asked whether or not to USB / SD on the things COPY to "/ dev/sda1" boost it «will explain the details. Thank you very much.

Upgrade CD-ROM disc can see a reduction of the "second disc" Therefore, the use of pre-prepared first, the use of the CD Asustek reduction, reuse XEPC.org CD to do the second phase of the upgrade / amendment to it.
Because too little space for the sda1 (about 100 M), so the SD-prepared to start up again, go back to La own copy.

Wrong
I did not USB CD-ROM drive
What »
By eliza on Feb 16, 2008
Re: eliza
Theoretically you can use USB flash drives, but CD-ROM image file into a USB flash drive,
Rookie will be difficult, so only temporary support for USB CD-ROM drive to boot.
If there is no CD-ROM drive, it can also mentioned that before the apt-get update methods,
Reference to "New mandatory" one.
As for the iPod nano, because of the DRM settings such, if it is to buy the song,
Or to use iTunes ah, Amarok can be loaded inside the iPod songs,
And the songs inside out, or get copies of songs, songs bought on not.
If the file manager can not see inside the file, use command to load up before they can use Amarok manage it, as long as it's good for carrying on the directory.

If I have some do not want to remove the software, whether directly in sda 1 remove »»
Also, will the self-installed Software to sda1??
Thank you to answer!
By Frankie on Feb 20, 2008
Re: Frankie
Yes, the use of any Linux Live CD boot can carry up to chroot inside, and then dpkg, apt-get, and other methods.
However strongly recommended changes, the sda2 empty.
By lazyfai on Feb 20, 2008
Will the boot CD-ROM with ubuntu 7.10,
Such as the use chroot
To how to set up
chroot environment Internet
By eeepc like to use those on Feb 22, 2008
Re: eeepc love users
Live CD is the Internet, identify the connection is successful,
Loading the file system, the assumption that / target under the bar,
Then / etc / resolv.conf to copy / target / etc,
Then / proc, / dev, / sys use the
mount-o bind / proc / target / proc
mount-o bind / dev / target / dev
mount-o bind / sys / target / sys
Then on the implementation of chroot / target apt-get update and
chroot / target apt-get install xyz these movements has.
By lazyfai on Feb 22, 2008
Thank the original to do less of a resolv.conf

If you want to ask the chroot under弄出map line interface, to how to set up
By eeepc like to use those on Feb 23, 2008
Re: eeepc love in the graphic user interface has been under, chroot after can not use graphical interface.
In fact, chroot only used for some "emergency" actions, should do a good job after a reboot use.
By lazyfai on Feb 23, 2008
Thank you very much,
Here I learned a lot,
Chroot directly to do with some updating epc on the first ssd partition can save a lot of space,
By eeepc like to use those on Feb 23, 2008
Re: eeepc love users can update sda1 chroot Although there will be some problems, however, the question is why it's "unionfs".
For example / etc / passwd This file is in sda2 above, so if the installation of a new deb package,
What are the new users to join, it will only add to the sda1 / etc / passwd, reboot,
System will not ignore this new user has.
There are many problems, I would like to re-organize the new article on this.
By lazyfai on Feb 23, 2008
In fact, the really wanted to "unionfs" remove this thing (I just do not know how to do),
If all the 4G installed on the system, and mount an 8 G sd card as the second partition to make use directory of users, with ln-s connection to / home / user / My Document, can be fitted with a lot of need Ssd in the use of the software, can keep their own files in the sd card, it is not often stretched ssd in the state.
Originally wanted to direct the use of ubuntu but some seem not to drive, and epc really pretty easy mode, reluctant to change.

Re: MingHo
1.900 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 should be able to upgrade to 701 with 900 can be used.
2. SD can not read, then you can enter a command: sudo udevtrigger
This is an update of the last Asustek lead and should soon be amended.
3. To wait, gcin should have accelerated plug-ins can be added to google找找you, the next version will try to join.
4. This a bit difficult, because the original OS has not merged the hard drive support, to amend the can.
