ravnos: awesome, I will try all that when I get chance and report back. Thanks for posting this

Just tried this method with BT4-beta, works just fine.

Just download the bt4-beta DVD image, and replace that with the bt3-final iso you already have. No other changes are necessary.

At the...

Again, with this method I doubt u would have ur WiFi working. I tried with an external wireless USB adapter, and it does not show under lspci, so no go for that.

Just be happy you have internet...

I would like to see proxychains as part of Bt4, thanks.

For the Desktop icons, I changed their size to be a bit smaller, it looks much nicer, and its very simple to do:
Go to K --> System --> Settings --> Control Center --> Appearance & Themes --> Icons...

hippocrates: Thanks for your guide and efforts :)


I went ahead and did it the hard way, since I want to keep my sound and LAN drivers working. Everything seemed fine except for the xorg.conf...

If I remember correctly, when you run LaunchPDL on a system for the first time, it will ask you if you want to install kqemu on that host machine. Now, if you dont have admin privileges on that...

I am guessing its slower without admin privileges because you are not using KQemu at that point? There is a HUGE speed difference using Qemu and Kqemu.

Awesome! Thanks a lot hippocrates, this will help a lot of us here with the 901s.

EDIT: Already answered.

Can we have a detailed step by step on how to do this? I have the eeePC901 as well, and same problem. please be as detailed as possible. Thanks.

Glad you found and liked the tutorial :)

Remember also: you can put all this on a folder on your USB stick, and on that same stick, you can throw BT3 and make it bootable as well. That way you...

Which option did you first use when booting BT3? Did you edit the boot entry as the first post suggests?

Agreed. At this point, for anyone who needs further hardware support under this method, I think it will have to do with Qemu and not BT3.

How old is your laptop? Note that very old laptops cannot boot from USB devices... or some their BIOS wont support that.

I have tried couple tests, with wireless card enabled / disabled under Windows and BT3 still wont recognize it.. Kinda weird, because it does recognize the ethernet card, and the wireless has the...

I know this is a little outdated thread, and there has not been any posts lately, but I read all of it, and I was experiencing what most users here were experiencing: the ERROR Max retransmists for...

On your desktop, are you using the same USB stick to boot from? Am asking to check if you know as a fact that the USB stick boots ok from some other machines. On your laptop, did you configure it in...

Yep, same here, my wireless card does not show up either, am doing some tests as we speak, but I doubt it would be recognized. I will post updates as soon as I find something.

You could use the...

SeRGiNaToR:

Dang!! My bad, Now that I read your post I totally forgot about having something to do with creating the changes directory. Mistake is when you write a tut long after your experiment,...

Good point.. honestly, I have not tested that yet, but I will try it in the next couple of days. If someone did, please let us know.

Actually, you do not need to create any folders :)

What happens is that when you actually go through Step #1 (the tut from pendrivelinux), PDL automatically activates and do the necessary stuff...

hmmm, maybe am missing something, but how is that simpler than downloading the bt3final iso, extracting it, moving 2 folders to a usb drive and double clicking on bootinst??

I dont know if you noticed, but there is already this, which is much more detailed and complete:

While they both achieve you the same goal, these two methods are kinda different. I am not an VMware expert, so anyone can correct me on the below facts:

1. The Qemu method is totally portable....
