This is done with what is referred to as the “F9” restore. How you do this is actually fairly simple. While your system is booting you repeatedly press F9. If it doesn't work, try pressing Esc. When you get the boot menu, choose the first option, press Enter and press F9 immediately. When it works it will bring up a menu. text/html 2008-05-11T11:42:44-05:00 elaine chiu http://wiki.eeeuser.com/an_eee_modder_s_handbook?rev=1210524164&do=diff this is a collection of my summaries of the eeeuser forum, after reading and posting for about 2 months. this is also found at <http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=27068> (the links work at this other posting site) hopefully, this can be a starting point for new forum users. there is a HUGE amount of experience here, so please use the search function so you don't ask questions that were already answered several times. text/html 2008-05-11T11:34:11-05:00 elaine chiu http://wiki.eeeuser.com/fido_touchscreen_xandros?rev=1210523651&do=diff This is a how-to for linux beginners, like me.

It's a small Slackware-based live CD/USB. Slax offers a list of pre-installed softwares for daily use.
