 	I've been trying to get a 4 GB ASUS EeePC to run any sort 
of linux other than Xandros usably, and failing miserable; some I 
can't get to install, and those that do run into other troubles.

I found somebody saying he'd installed plain F8. So I got out my 
live CD and tried that.

       F8 installed fine, but won't connect. By ethernet, I 
plugged two different cables into it, both of which had been 
working fine with other machines, and "service network 
restart" gets an error saying SIOCSIFFLAGS is an invalid 
argument.

       If I turn on the wireless access in my router, it doesn't 
help. If I then disconnect the cable, it still doesn't.
