Re: EeePC 701 : Is pre-upgrade not optional??

i have just finished installing F10 on a eeepc701 with 1GB of ram. As
for now, everything is working out of the box (I am writing this email
from the eeepc, logged in to my wireless router)
I am impressed.
I recommend you to give it a try, using the live usb function. Check
the installation guide for F10.
Hope this info helps. Let me know if you need more details

One of the topics I've been ignoring completely, in order to manage at
least something, is pre-upgrade -- taking for granted that the way I know
would still work, be the virtues of pre-upgrade what they may.

I bit-torrented F10 and burned it to a DVD. I want it ASAP for an
EeePC 701, now running what was supposed to be F10 Beta (uname says
F9.92.), and reported to solve the wireless problem. (It didn't. In fact,
it is unable to connect, even by Ethernet cable to my router.)

My choices appear to be either to do a fresh install (which I
presume might work), DBAN the 701 and then do a fresh install, mothball
the machine, or install some less congenial OS.

Has anyone here tried any of these on a very early EeePC?
