NOTE: to avoid corrupt downloads, you *might* have to download the files above using the wget command..
In the terminal:
Code: Select all
cd /root/Downloads
wget http://akita.scottjarvis.com/akeeeta-15-atom.tar.gz
On first boot:
- you'll probably want the 'intel' video driver for the correct 1024x600 resolution
- acpid will popup messages which might screw up the display of xorgwizard
- camera, bluetooth, wifi, etc should all be enabled by default
KNOWN ISSUE:
You must rename any savefile you create: remove the dash (-) from the middle of the name.
For example, change 'eee-save.2fs' to 'eeesave.2fs'. If you don't do this, it won't be found!
Changelog:
- added eee-control..
- added bluetooth (bluez, dbus, etc) .. not tested
- added webcam-viewer.. uses xawtv (in repo) or vlc, whatever is installed
- updates in pwireless2.. the connect btn will also now reset-dhcp at the end to get ip more reliably
- fixes(?) for zdrv.. in initrd.gz.. for always running depmod
How to Install:Akeeeta 15 is a lightweight linux desktop OS for EeePCs
There are separate versions for Atom and Celerons based netbooks,
Make sure you get the right one for you netbook!
1. Extract the .tar.gz archive, which you've done. Nice one.
2. Copy to folder 'akeeeta' to the root of your boot device (hard drive, usb, etc).
3. Then add the relevant boot codes to your bootloader.
For example, for grub4dos, something like this:
Code: Select all
title Akeeeta 15\nBoot Akita for EeePCs (sdaX)
find --set-root --ignore-floppies /akeeeta/initrd.gz
kernel /akeeeta/vmlinuz pmedia=atahd psubdir=akeeeta pfix=ram
initrd /akeeeta/initrd.gz
To do:
- fix toggle performance/powersave modes using Fn+SPACE.. how?
- go straight to desktop with correct video driver (help!)
- still need to fix panscreen, scalescreen in eee-control ...how? puppeeees xrandr wont work either!
- dri enabled...?
- get a devx ... its online somewhere!
