Hello,

Thanks for the guide. I used it for my 1000 HA. I ran into a problem though. When I installed the video kext, my screen went down to the size of the 9" screen size. There is a big chunk of black on the right hand side of the screen. Have you seen this? Please let me know.

Thanks,

Aaron

About 4-5 hours of solid, non-stop usage, including Wifi.

If I was going to do this today I would be looking at the 1000HE which has built-in Bluetooth, the MacBook "chiclet" keyboard, and longer battery life.

Plug in USB DVD Drive, boot your EEE while holding down alt+f2 to install bios. Restart.

So, yes, it’s part of the CD that you make.

So the bios flash was on the EEEboot.1.09.iso? Or was the bios update linked on http://eeeboot.org/? I just want to know what to expect because I want to try and get this knocked out on Sunday…

The CD that you download and boot from (read the instructions on the site I linked to) will upgrade the BIOS for you.

It's painless.

Other than the touchpad, which is very touchy, the eeeMac works GREAT and it frees up my MacBook for do other things like run HandBrake on DVD.

I am so excited I found your guide. I was just shy of giving up on this because I “accidentally” bought a 1000HA not a 1000H like I had meant to. I cant wait to give this all a try! One question: most places for the 1000H recommend flashing the BIOS. Did you have to do this to make it happen? I just want to make sure I am not wasting time trying something that has no hope in succeeding… Thanks for your help in advance!
