My eeepc 701 4G has been with me since 2008 each and every single day giving me the best of what it's got. No wonder I love it so much.
I have tested Wheezy on it for a whole week using a custom built debian-live image (without installer). It works flawlessly using full persistence. The only problem is that everytime I turn on the machine I have to reinstall Dropbox because it does not seem to work fine with cow (This is just a wild guess. The problem might be anything else.)
This afternoon I'm going to install Wheezy on a mini sd flash card of 16 GB I bought yesterday using the regular debian installer. The procedure is quite simple.
1.- Wipe grub from the master boot record of the usb stick I'm going to use as installation media. (This is just because I have been playing with siduction on that usb pendrive for a couple of days. It boots the iso using grub.)
