I would just to drop a few comments on using Fedora 10 on my little Asus 701.
I'm impressed how well installation went and how it work nice in fullscreen on eee's small 7" screen.
After installing I had issues with wireless and webcam. I can start cheese and I can see the led turn on but I don't see anything in cheese window.
Wireless worked out-of-the-box with new ath5k module and I could see all networks and connected to my WPA network but I can't surf web sites :(
I tried pinging my adls router and I get a lot of drop packages and ping times over 2000ms :(
After compiling madwifi-hal and blacklisting ath5k wireless started working perfectly.
I also tried "Connection sharing" with eee conected through wire and created a new wireless connection for others to connect to. I tried with one client to connect to asus eee AP but it also got a lot of dropped packages :(
I posted a bug for this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=473576
Are there any asus eee users that have similar experience? Any tips/tricks for us eee users?
Cheers, Valent.

Does your SD card slot work?

I had some strange issues while installing Fedora 10 with LVM and encryption on external SD card and after few tries I gave up. Now I have Fedora 10 installed on internal SDD disk and it works ok with LVM and encryption. But I checked after installation of Fedora 10 that my card isn't broken and I could delete partitions and create new ones. I didn't go beyond that for now.
Do you have some issues with SD reader?

I don't (I have a eee 901 and it uses a different reader) but some people have had issues. There's some details in the following bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=465405

FYI, in case you are not aware of it: You can get madwifi pre-compiled from RPM Fusion. Getting it from there might be the best for those that don't want to compile or blacklist manually.

For Fedora 9 madwifi drivers from rpmfusion stopped working for me (I believe I also posted a bug on your mailing list) so I started manually compiling drivers. I'm using now the new madwifi-hal and not madwifi drivers.

Not all package maintainer read the mailing lists. Hence please file a bug (http://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org) if you encounter a problem. That is the best way to get a problem fixed -- then it'll not only work for you, but also "just work" for everybody else. And that's what all of us want, isn't it?

RPM Fusion in the F-10 branch as well.

After installing F10 on a 4GB SD card I had the following problems:
- a cache (I suspect the one in the reader) wasn't flushed on reboot/poweroff, so there was always filesystem check on start. A sleep command added to the halt init script fixed it. - wireless didn't work after suspend, I didn't try the madwifi driver - Fn+F2 key (with rfkill-input module loaded) worked only after some time has passed, and wireless didn't work after turning it on again - snd-hda-intel driver prevented CPU entering C3 state and sometimes the machine didn't power off. Using power_save=15 option for the driver fixed both problems.
I think I've seen all of this reported in bugzilla. Everything else I tried worked fine.
- wireless didn't work after suspend, I didn't try the madwifi driver
- Fn+F2 key (with rfkill-input module loaded) worked only after some
time has passed, and wireless didn't work after turning it on again
The rfkill switch pci hotplugs the wifi, there's issues with it that I think have been fixed recently upstream. If the patches aren't in the current fedora kernel I suspect they will be soon.
