Hi folks
Anybody running CentOS on Eee PC 1000H? In CentOS wiki[0] there is a draft about Eee PC 900 from Fabian Arrotin. Does the same howto work for Eee PC 1000H?
So far he writes:
Waiting for an official way to host the necessary rpms ...
Where to download WiFi and NIC driver?

Dunno, but I successfully managed to install CentOS 5.2 on a similar piece of hardware, the MSI Wind U100 netbook. Here's how:

There's quite some hacking involved, but once it's on the hardware, it's a real pleasure. I didn't quite succeed yet in configuring the wireless card, but I'm working at it.

If you could translate this How To to English it would be great if you could promote it on the -docs ML and the wiki.

Oups, it seems i didn't see that post, sorry for the delay .... AFAIK the Eee PC 1000 doesn't use the same NIC/Wireless nic than in the 900 .. but i can't confirm except if you send me one ;-) I'm still discussing with other CentOS folks to see how we can easily host the RPMS for the atl2 kmod and the patched madwifi RPMS ... Maybe i can at least create a temporary repo to hold them and that repo can be used during setup so that everything works on the first reboot after installation (i mean wired nic and wireless) ... If you have already linux installed on the 1000H, can you have a look at the modules being used and lspci/lspci -v and report that to me ? Thanks
