Ha ha ... drink beer.... I will get very drunk waiting for the eeePc 701 to boot. Takes 11 minutes to get to start the desktop... About 15 minutes to show the welcome screen! Something is not right. It boots the old Mandriva 2010.2 in less than 2 minutes into KDE3. Tried 2 different USB ports just in case the 1 was stuck at USB 1.1. No change.
One of the mods that I have done to the 701 was soldering a 64gb stick to the motherboard to an unused USB port. So it boots via the 4GB on board SSD and /home is mounted to the 64GB stick. Don't know if it somehow interferes with the LL starting up? I installed Mandrake way back from a DVD attached via USB. It was slow but not that slow.
Just took the plunge and started the install... :o
Going OK. Got interesting guessing where the OK button is while setting up the partitions since the screen is too small. Afterwards I connected an external screen, much easier now
Now going much quicker than booting...
