I gave up figuring how to install anything on my eee 901.

Some packages ended up in a bizare /home/.xxxxx folder, and some
couldn't install because of strange dependencies. I can't see
the advantage of "apt-get install" compared to "yum install".

So I removed the Xandros and installed F9, compiled the WiFi
module - now I feel like I'm home :-)
