Pardus 2007.3 on Asus EEE PC

Here is a resume to my experience with Pardus on Asus EEE.

The installation

• To install Pardus, I need to connect an external screen, because the screen resolution is 800×480 and the installer is not usuable. I don't see the bottom of the installer, so I can't click on next, etc.

• But with a 17 inch external flat screen, I do the install with no problem.
• In fact, I installed Pardus from an external usb dvd drive.
• A bad thing, due to the hardware, is that the install take approximatively 2 hours.

Installation of the network

The network card and the wireless card don't work by default. So, we will begin to install the wireless card

  I have to hold the buton for a long time in order to switch off the computer.
