Smaller form-factor machines such as the Asus eeePC have gotten a fair bit of the tech press spotlight of late. Have you bought one with the idea of running Fedora on it? Or have you thought about doing so?
I've done a few different draft images for the Asus EeePC model 900 that can
be
put on a USB pen drive then booted and optionally installed. I used livecd-tools to build them.
Gnome Image (600M): http://www.freeeee.org/images/FREEEEE-200808080001.ext2
Text only (199M): http://www.freeeee.org/images/FREEEEE-minimal-200808102048.ext2
Minimal GUI openbox (300M): http://www.freeeee.org/images/FREEEEE-200808080001.ext2
I've done a number of other images floating around as well, and I have a
super
rad one waiting in the wings hahaha.
These are based on BLAG 90k which is based on Fedora 9. The kernel (-libre + -rt) supports all hardware on the EeePC 701/900 using *only* free software. This includes wifi with the ath5k driver. It is based on -libre and -rt plus various other patches.
If you are interested in this I can keep you updated when I do new images
(like
every few days right now).

Perhaps you meant to post different links for the Openbox and GNOME images? They look the same to me.
Whoops, you're right, thx.
