Esta clase particular le tomará cada sola medida de la manera con la instalación de Ubuntu 8.04 (Heron robusto) en su PC de Asus Eee. Los pasos son específicos para PC 900 de Eee (modelo de destello del SSD 16GB), pero sea similar para la otra PC' S. de Eee.
- Primero, descargue ISO de Ubuntu Eee. Ésta es una versión de Ubuntu 8.04 creado específicamente para la PC de Asus Eee.
- Usted tiene una opción de 3 diversas maneras de instalar Ubuntu.
- Usted puede quémese el archivo de .iso al CD, y utilice una impulsión externa del USB CD/DVD para patear de ese CD.
- Usted puede transferir la ISO archiva (y hágala bootable) a una impulsión del palillo/del pulgar de la memoria del USB usando la herramienta de UNetbootin-Ubuntu Eee (Versión de Windows/Versión de Linux).
- Usted puede transferir el archivo de .iso a una tarjeta del SD (y hacerla bootable) que usa la misma herramienta de UNetbootin-Ubuntu Eee. Este método pudo ser el “más doloroso” - pero technica de los ars hace usted cubrir con las instrucciones.
- Esta clase particular utiliza “transferencia el método de la impulsión del pulgar del USB” (sucedo tener uno), y es probablemente la manera más rápida.
- Descargue Versión de Windows de UNetbootin-Ubuntu Eee si su PC de Eee está funcionando actualmente Windows, o Versión de Linux si está funcionando Linux.
- Esta clase particular asume que usted tiene XP instalado - si usted tiene Linux, siga esta clase particular para transferir la ISO a su USB manosee la impulsión con los dedos, y después salte abajo para caminar #11 abajo.
- Usted puede necesitar ajuste a formato su impulsión del pulgar del USB para que la instalación a trabajar. Aunque usted no puede necesitar ajustar a formato, es más fácil a apenas lo hace y continúa más bien que descubre más adelante que un formato fue requerido.
- Lanzamiento UNetbootin-Ubuntu Eee doble-chascándolo.
- Cerciórese de que Ubuntu Eee y 8.04 se seleccionan de Distribución menús drop-down. Seleccione Diskimage el botón de radio, y entonces chasca … botón. Navegue a su ubuntu-eee-804.iso archívelo y seleccione.
Finalmente, seleccione la impulsión que representa su impulsión del pulgar del USB. Para mi PC de Eee, la impulsión del pulgar del USB está E:\ Tecleo AUTORIZACIÓN para comenzar.
- UNetbootin-Ubuntu Eee will start to convert and transfer the iso file to your thumb drive. Note: if it seems to ’stall’ at file #8, don’t worry - it’s at that step that the largest file is being converted.
- Once UNetbootin-Ubuntu Eee has finished, you’ll be prompted to reboot your device. Click the Reboot Now button.
- As soon as your Eee PC starts up again, hit the Esc (escape) key a few times until a Please select boot device: window appears. Use the down arrow key to select your USB thumb drive, and once it’s highlighted, hit the Enter key on your keyboard.
- Your Eee PC will now boot into Ubuntu. Remember, this is the “live” version of Ubuntu - it’s running from your USB thumb drive, not your Eee PC’s hard drive. Play around for a bit if this is your first time using Ubuntu. You can still back out of the installation and return to whatever Operating System your Eee PC came with (just reboot again).
- To continue and install Ubuntu to your Eee PC, click the Install icon on the desktop.
- Select your language and click the Forward button to continue.
- Now select your city (or the closest one to it in the same time zone) and click Forward.
- Choose the keyboard layout you want to use, and yep you guessed it - click Forward.
- If you are in fact using the Eee PC 900 (or higher), select Guided - use entire disk. If you have an earlier model, with a smaller SSD drive, you may want to review the details here and decide if you want to have Ubuntu create a swap partition. Alternately, if you have a model with multiple “drives” (xGB SSD and xGB Flash), you may want to install Ubuntu on the SSD drive, and then mount the /home folder on the Flash drive). When you’re ready, click Forward.
- Enter the appropriate info in each of the provided fields. When you’re done, click Forward.
- Review the summary window, and click Install to begin the installation.
- Grab a cup of coffee - the installation will take a while. Don’t go too far away though…
- Once the installation has completed, click Restart now. Let your Eee PC boot normally (don’t hit the Esc key as it starts) - and you’ll boot into Ubuntu. That’s it - you’re done!

Cool!
I have been thinking of getting an Eee PC. My only concern is the wireless issue. Does it work well under Ubuntu?
thnx alot… i was planning to install Ubuntu. ill use this guide. thnx!
@Damien - Wireless and wired connects both work great right out of the box (assuming you’re using Ubuntue Eee as the distribution - “regular” Ubuntu will take some tweaking to get wireless working)
i am really interested to get ubuntu 8.04 on my eeePC 701 (4GB SSD), but i am a bit concerned about ur guide no. 17,care to explain please?
i have a 16GB SDHC card plugged into the card reader, can i install ubuntu on the SSD and put the /home on the SDHC card?..if yes how do i go about doing it?
is there any issues with the hardware compatibilities and i use a lot of skype(video) on Xandros eeePC, any solutions?
thanks
sorry another question, will i be needing the fix suggested by this http://wiki.eeeuser.com/getting_ubuntu_8.04_to_work_perfectly
once i install ubuntu 8.04 on my eeePC 701..
@wooikok,
1. Yes you can make your SDHC card your /home folder.
2. Re: Step #17 - read http://wiki.eeeuser.com/ubuntu:eeexubuntu:customization carefully. It explains the pros and cons of having a swap on a small hard drive.
3. I don’t know exactly what hardware comes with the 701 - I don’t have one, so I can’t test it. I suspect that if you follow this guide and use Ubuntu Eee instead of “normal” Ubuntu, it will all work. But again, I can’t confirm that because I don’t have a 701.
4. Backup Xandros and try out Ubuntu Eee. If it doesn’t work, use the restore CD and then move all your files from the backup to your Eee PC.
5. It’s unlikely you’ll need any of the fixes outlined in the link you included in your second comment. Ubuntu Eee includes most of them (maybe all) by default.
Hope this helps,
Ross

While installing 8.04.1 ubuntu-eee and writing up my own similarly-intended guide (good job, btw), I noticed that the installer skips step 6 of 7. Same thing appears in your screenshots. Any idea what’s up? The website form above links to the question as posed on ubuntu forums.
Two other comments:
-first of all, how do you get such great screenshots while installing?
-secondly, I think some more discussion about partitioning may be useful. Check out my discussion here, feel free to make use of it in this guide if you find it useful.
got everything working on my eeePC n now also got it on my dell laptop and desktop….one word…wow…
please send me , a tutorial for instal ubuntu in my eee pc
@azharz -
You can find a tutorial to install Ubuntu on your Eee PC here.
Hi,
I’ve been trying to do follow this firstly with an SD card and then went and bought a USB memory stick large enough to do it but I’m having a problem at stage 12.
After I slect the USB drive, instead of seeing the OS I get a black screen with writing along the top, then some dots appear and draw along the top before it says ‘ready’ and then stops at that…
Am I doing something wrong?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi, and thanks for a great guide! I have a problem with the wireless (I followed this guide on an Asus eee 900). I don’t see any wireless networks, even though I know there is one available. Any known issues with this?
Thanks for the help buddy! You have a great tutorial!
Good luck with everything!
This tutorial looks really straight forward I am really looking forward to installing ubuntu on my eee pc 1000.
I have one small issue that perhaps you can assist me with; I am running xandros and want to install unbuntu instead using only a usb drive (since an external cd drive for me is not an option). I cannot Launch UNetbootin-Ubuntu Eee since it doesn’t have a program that can execute it.
Also I have loaded the ubuntu iso disk image to my usb drive but the drive says its unbootable eventhough it is formatted correct. Can someone pls assist me??
Tried installing ubuntu eee pc on a 1000HA but i’m stucked at step 16. It doesn’t go beyond that. You’re guide has been a great help. I hope you can help me shed light on this one.
this is ubuntu remix for eee pc NOT (Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron)
WAST OF TIME
@h4×0r
No, actually, this is Ubuntu 8.04. The Eeebuntu (soon to be renamed) was updated after this tutorial, and included Netbook Remix in THAT version (they called it 8.04.1 (see this tutorial). If you can find an old version of Eeebuntu (8.04, the version this tutorial uses) it will come without Netbook Remix. Or, you can just uninstall Netbook Remix from the current version, and it will be “regular” 8.04 Hardy Heron.
Hi all.
I would like to know, i have a Eee-900 with linux, the version with 20gb.
How to put the drivers after installation of this version ?
- Wifi
- Webcam
- Micro / Sound Recorder
- Bluetooth
- HotKeys
Thanks
The link in step 5 doesn’t work. It’d be great if you could update. : )
@Grant -
Done!
YOUR SITE IS WHAT I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR! I RECENTLY PURCHASED A EEE PSC 900A LINUX. I AM GOING TO NEED A LOT OF INFO.
THANKS JOHN
