Pre-installation

See ?DebianEeePC/Live to see how to get the image onto a USB stick or similar.

During Boot

  • At boot time you have to hold the Esc key and select the correct device.
  • The default language is English with a US keyboard. For anything else, press Tab and add the "locale=" and "keyb=" boot parameters as indicated below. For different languages, keyboards, etc. you will find settings at http://webconverger.org/i18n/#index2h1. For example, if your Eee PC has a Spanish keyboard but you work in English you would press Tab and add to the end of the line: locale=en keyb=es  and then press Return to continue the boot process.

The Live OS In Use

  • The Start icon is at the bottom left corner of your screen.
  • You can start briquolo from the start menu - it is a 3d brickout game.
  • There is an image on the Desktop which you can click to see ?GpicView working, or you can open it from the Start menu and view your own images.

  • There is a very short demo movie on the desktop for you to see Mplayer working.
  • To connect to the internet look in the Start menu under Internet and you will be able to open Wicd, which will automatically find any wireless networks and you can choose how you want to connect.
  • The browser is already configured, but here are some further Configuration notes for Iceweasel.

  • Start ayttm from the start menu for your IRC and other messengers, you will be logged into #debian-eeepc @ irc.oftc.net as EeePCLive. To change your nick, type /quote nick Your-New-Nick.
  • If you have a reasonable connection you can hear the sound system with this radio station in Mplayer.

  • You can install more applications with Synaptic. In the Start menu, select System Tools and then Synaptic Package Manager. When it has opened, read the Quick Introduction in the Help menu, Reload the package list and then search for what you want to install. There are lots of suggestions at http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEeePC/Software/Productivity

  • If the system goes to sleep, the password to wake it up again is "live". The username is already there, "user". You will also need to reconnect using Wicd again.
  • If you end up with an application window open that is too big for your screen, you can move it around by holding the Alt key while clicking and dragging it to where you like.
