I tried to use the MIC (Moblin Image Creator) in order to make an ISO that would fit with the 701 hardware, but I was stuck trying to redo the basic image. Whatever I did, the building process failed. So I forgot the idea. I guess it's possible to make it work but I'm at the point where I've lost interest -- I'll just wait for another version of Moblin. After all, it's just "Alpha 2"... Alpha software is not meant to be used, but tried. Let's wait for some Beta... Maybe that by the time, I'll have another netbook which would work directly ;-) or maybe I'll try again to use MIC, with success this time :-) Well, no the provided ISO doesn’t work in a EeePC 701.

I guess it’s possible to make it work but I’m at the point where I’ve lost interest — I’ll just wait for another version of Moblin. After all, it’s just “Alpha 2″… Alpha software is not meant to be used, but tried. Let’s wait for some Beta…

Humm, I just read the first comment on the Moblin page:

EEEPC 701 doesn’t work
Not an SSSE3 capable processor (Celeron M)

I’d try my chance anyway, but it looks like I will find myself in a dead end.

I'm just so fond of blazing-fast boots! ;-) I have just burnt the Live CD; I’ll give it a try on my EeePC 701 as soon as possible. I’m just so fond of blazing-fast boots! ;-)

Ridicule: "who wants to have /electricity/ when you have torches, anyway!?". 2. Disbelief: "well, how does it work, then, without oil and gagging smoke?". 3. Acceptance: "I'll reserve judgement until it's approved by the Church, and they use it for their Mosaic Windows design". Well, it’s the three stages for useful technology:

Does this mean that people are possibly not interested in an OS like Moblin? What about an online voting Steve? I think it would be interesting to see, which OS would be voted as the first choice for MIDs and UMPCs. Not a single comment on this post?
