EeePC and Mandriva 2009: no upgrade but install!

Finally I managed to get a stable installation and running! How did I do? Simple, installing everything from scratch. I know that after spending time, patience and desire to set things up, to start from scratch just is not the greatest, but it is so, otherwise the total system instability.

To install everything, just follow the guide I made ​​to her time for 2008 , everything remains the same, except where it says you put 2009 2009 :) .
There are "only" two failures to settle:
1) The problem of shutdown
add "rmmod snd-hda-intel" to / etc / init.d / halt (without the "and the beginning of the file)

2) the problem of the fn + F2 when you switch off the wifi, then not start again
copy "options pciehp pciehp_force = 1" in / etc / modprobe.conf (without ")

This solution seems to work for many users, but to me it does not work! It seems that adding the option is not enough and must do more .

For total control of the clock, fan, and anything else you can just install these two packages:
Kernel Module
Poweeersave

The first package will enable the kernel module to change the parameters.
The second adds a handy program for manipulating these parameters.
Obviously be careful, you could ruin the eeepc!

    And 'the ninth distro I feel about 701. Well, I must say I was very surprised by the performance you get with mandriva. It seems love at first sight. Recognized all hardware. Furthermore, the performance is very good and the system is very stable and fast. Boot in 55 seconds (without making any optimization). So an optimal solution for the 701.

    I keep a Eeepc 701 y problemas the tapeworm conectarme with Wifi. El Controlador parece funcionar, but was not de capaz conectarme or hacia to duras penas. The solución está en USAR dhcpd. En la siguiente dirección explican Cómo hacerlo:
