EeePCLinuxOS

It is my pleasure to announce a new USB Install Key creator for EeePCLinuxOS. For some of you more experienced Linux/Windows users it may look familiar. That is because this new installer is based off of UNetBootin. We've shortened the installable Linux LiveCD list down to just us and disabled Floppy capabilities. Overall though should hopefully offer a better experience for our Windows users. I would like to thank Wingers for his previous work on the installer this one replaces and for bringing up the fact that we needed a Windows installer in the first place. For the Beta3-1 release this has become the main install method for Windows users as the LiveCD installation method suffered when the PCLinuxOS MKLiveCD package got updated. Hopefully with the next release that too will be fixed and our users can select from many different install methods as they have need. You can find out more information about our version of UNetBootin and UNetBootin in general by visiting the Download page. That's the same place (obviously) to download this new edition also. Thank you all for your added testing, feedback and support.

 It is my pleasure to announce that we're testing a new Install method for windows users. There's multiple ways to install EeePCLinuxOS to the EeePC. One of the most common methods was to create a USB install key. You plug in the USB install key boot off it try EeePCLinuxOS if it suites your needs you can then install it. For users with PCLinuxOS this was a easy thing to create, you would simple just install the eeepcinstall package or find the installer post on the forums and launch it following the simple steps. If you had windows things were a bit more complicated then that. You would either have to burn the downloaded iso to a CD then boot the cd and create the install key from the boot live environment or use a virtual machine, like VirtualBox or VMWare. This was all really compicated so one of the crew here borrowed and edited some scripts from PenDrive Linux and has now created a install method for Windows users that is much like the install method Linux users have.

For more information or if you want to test check out the forum.

 It is my pleasure to announce that work is underway by one of our users, Richard, to create a new Easy or Simple mode for EeePCLinuxOS. For right now the icons are static but I'm sure things will improve in the future. So far it looks really good and has the potential to look even better as Richard learns more about programming and Qt4 Designer. You can watch the progress for this project on the Forums in Applications under the thread "New Simple Mode".
