Eee PC update on the number of Notes
February 23, 2008 - 1:49 pmSo far, Eee PC has been popular for some time, I believe we all frequently see some changes to update the original systematic approach, but there are a few points, it is necessary to pay attention to, failure to update a minor issue, it is necessary to reload, then the trouble. :-)
- Do not around in search of "deb package" to install the Eee PC, as a public deb package be divided into two categories is to use the Debian, Ubuntu One is to use, although the Eee PC "roughly" based on Xandros (a little rough again The revised version of Debian), but because of the need to adapt to the Eee PC's hardware environment and speed, a lot of time will modify the original set of Debian, Debian even if the direct use of Ubuntu to put deb package, or directly join the debian / ubuntu things in sources.list, and then install just the What, is likely to result in inconsistent system, even damaged.
For example, several users have encountered the "perl" or "kde" application of the problem is that Eee PC with an official Debian package is not compatible caused. - There are many so-called "direct partition in the first hands-on" approach to update that can be saved in the second partition of the space on the way, there is a certain danger in this, but if the success of the installation may be some problems, some friends before the event Have been to, I have explained before, will now elaborate.
XEPC.org a reference to one of the file system on the article, you will find that the Eee PC file system is composed of two partitions, the first partition is read-only, that is the default file structure, and the second Partitions can be read and write, "stamp out" the first partition of East and West, all of the files to add, remove, modify in the second partition on the "record" with, and this also explains why we have Eee PC on the "delete" some of the package, will not increase the hard disk space.
That is less and less space, some people will think of "the update, remove, modify directly in the first partition on" the methods the nature of any errors, but some things are overlooked, but Zhen Buxiao can affect things.
For example, apt-get / dpkg database, as will be continuously updated, so it will appear on the second partition; Another example is the storage of user information, such as the password file "/ etc / passwd" and other systems will be set in Boot was updated, so will the second partition, with the result that when users install the new system will be a number of software users, the new user will not appear in the system; more troublesome is that the deleted The file will not be removed, but in the second partition on the "mark" as it does not exist, if a user updates before the "delete" a certain file, and the first thing the installation of partitions will be installed this file , After the restart it will not appear. Therefore, the first thing done by the partition will not necessarily be reflected in the system.
But there are solutions, that is, F9, so all updates will be reflected in the right. It is also used to update CD XEPC.org before use DVD / F9 reduction.
So do these actions have to pay attention to before, do not blindly follow a number of Members of the public. But you can rest assured that the software library where all the packages are well suited to use the Eee PC. (Ha ha)
PS. In the past few days is not updated XEPC.org ah, but do XEPC.org updated second edition of the CD-ROM, and is a major update, including the latest kernel and the underlying system, a series of things to see an early success of the test.

Re: Isabella
After download those deb files and save it, they should be in / home / user, right?
So now open a terminal window, and type
sudo dpkg-i * perl * deb
This should give you something like unpacking blah blah blah replacing blah blah blah and then it will finish without any errors.
If you are not sure, take a picture of the screen after the command.

Hi Fai,

Re: Isabella
You have typed something wrong, the command should be:
dpkg [space]-i [space] * perl * deb [enter]
Make sure the space is correct, and make sure you saved the files under the directory / home / user

May I ask one question. If I have installed winxp on a eeepc901 linux version and now I want to go back to linux with the updated recovery DVD, can I restore the F9 function after recovery.
Best regards
