    You seem to actually desire f9 to boot slax, which I have the same opinion is an elegant explanation. Additional than must you actually solve the tribulations with the intention of way. Why do not have encompassed two parallel installs (windows+linux) and immediately have comprised grub to choose connecting the two. You are able to set windows as the defaulting operating system to load and encompass a 2 second timeout (time to decide linux, if you desire). It determines to steal 2 seconds commencing your boot time, and it's a extremely straightforward solution to implement a fallback OS. I recognize it's not accurately what you were giving the impression of being for, additional than. If it works fundamentally my point to get control in excess of the recovery ms thingy with the intention of is started upon pressing f9; so by means of the intention of I be able to do whatever I desire moreover to recovery or generate an image for several of the OS I have installed.

    If it does, give pleasure to might you create an ISO or make this CD obtainable for additional to download. It would be tremendously accommodating to people without the defaulting Xandros. In the un-boxing videos on youtube no one seems to acquire a CD/DVD and I not be able to locate an image to download on the absolutely awful Asus website. In view of the fact by means of the intention of its freeware, if somebody be able to get Asus to make available a disk for their 1000, it be supposed to be capable to be position for everybody, right? Most of them determine to locate out when excavation arrives if you get a disk of a number of kind, I not be able to observe anywhere to download it on the asus web site.

    The recovery DVD is for when you completely rotate up your system. You be able to do a recovery by pressing F9 a small number of times on boot. And yes, the recovery DVD is sustained or maintained to come by means of it. If it does not, you might desire to call Asus. Optimistically they determine to send you a copy and you would not be told to acquire your Eee back to accumulate and substitute it. One of the attractive aspects of the ASUS Eee PC is the convention interface installed by defaulting beneath the Xandros Linux installation. It's premeditated to be extremely organized and to permit users uncomplicated to have right of entry to the entire of the programs on the Eee without much complexity. On the other hand do you encompass (or be able to point me towards) several instructions on what to do by means of the files on one occasion I have encompassed and finished downloading them. Subsequent to the files are attached by WinRAR or 7Zip burn them to a DVD and then boot commencing the DVD.
