eee PC progress 082608

Looks to be in a stable state. No OS reinstalls tonight. Might be time to order the touchscreen?

-reinstalled XP from eee_XP_mini iso
FAT32 formatting used to help with piggypacked tiny Linux installs later
footprint on disk 2.37GB still seems large(temp files? virtual memory? restore points?)
potential exists for further XP tweaking, minimizing

-reinstalled drivers from included Asus DVD
touchpad and RTHDCPL.exe audio component didn't install from Asus driver DVD correctly
(files missing, presumably removed for mini install)

-reinstalled asus drivers from DriversBackupeeepc.exe file (from torrent)
touchpad working same as before (single click bar)
will download and install KB888111 to try and get Realtek audio working

-checked for WPA patch for windows/atheros
topic covered here
hotfix found here

-installed portable apps on SDHC

-checked video playback
youtube worked after installing flash extension
netflix watch it now - didn't work through portable firefox - no old Miami Vice epis for me :(
