gOS Linux on Eee PC 701 4G

I’ve been playing with my Asus Eee PC 701 4G for awhile now, installed different Linux Flavors and also Windows XP. I found out that gOS or good OS runs smoothly in Eee PC 4g, I gave it a shot and happy with the result. Although you still need to configure something like Wifi to make your Eee PC 4g fully usable just follow my tutorial and you’re all set.

Install gOS 3 Gadgets on Eee PC 701 4G

• Download gOS 3.0 Gadgets
• Burn iso to CD if you have external drive
  or
• Make a Live USB. (You can also use SD Card) using UNetbootin
• Download NiceeePC and put it in your USB or SD Card
• Boot the Live CD / USB and install gOS on your Eee PC
• After installing, run the NiceeePC .deb file ( niceeepc-1.4-all.deb ) to install.
• open terminal ( gOS logo > Accessories > Terminal )
• type: sudo niceeepc first-run
• just follow the steps and you’ll be ask yes or no on what to do / uninstall / install
• Reboot
• Test now and your EeePC should work fine. (Wifi Fix, Hot Key, Sleep)

Below is the list of the niceeepc script will do:

• Update the system.
• Fix SD mount problem.
• Fix shutdown problem.
• Fix audio and volume control.
• Fix grub 3 seconds wait.
• Fix boot clock detection.
• Removes unnecessary writes to disk.
• Unconstrain windows to the top of the screen.

• Removes password prompt after sleep.
• Enable autologin.
• Install Wireless drivers.
• Install ACPI support.
• Install custom “function keys” script and configure native on screen display (All FN keys working with native OSD when possible).
