Introduction

The scripts are written in Bash since that is the default shell in Xandros. To run them you can ether make them executable or execute them as arguments of the shell, the later method being the one I prefer. For both methods opening a terminal window is required.

The terminal

This is the first step for both methods and on the default Xandros installation this only implies pressing Ctrl+Alt+T. For the purpose of this HowTo I will presume that the scripts are located in the /home/user directory of the EeePC. If they are not, you can navigate to their directory using the cd (change directory) command.

cd name-of-directory goes to that directory

cd .. goes backwards

Alternatively you can move the files to your /home/user directory; To exit a terminal just type exit.

Making the scripts executable

Once you open the terminal and, if need be, change to the folder they are located in, you can type:

chmod +x pimpmyeee-version.sh; chmod +x unpimpmyeee-version.sh

After that you can run the scripts at any time by double-clicking them from the file manager or from the terminal by going to their directory and typing:

./pimpmyeee-version.sh

Executing scripts as arguments

To execute the scripts directly you can open a terminal, navigate to their directory and type:

sh pimpmyeee-version.sh

uhm what if you make an mistake with the codec and the player is not downgraded is there a way to undo it?

the version of smplayer i have is 0.5.21/qt version 3.3.7 That is probably not the downgraded version right?

I got the error:

FATAL: Module snd_seqoss not found

after attempting to choose the option that installed the extra codecs.

This is a brand-new EeePC, two days since it arrived.

Anybody know what I should do next to get this working?

It destroyed my 901, this is why: people dont understand that there is more than one version of eee, so people do scripts, scripts fail cause they are coded for the old 701, I loose functionality, such as, nautilus, SD, wifi and many other things.. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS!

I have sent the following to eee help: I have read through that address and "pimpmyeee" !! It ends with several accounts of brocken machines and warnings. It seems that there are many who wish for Gimp and can't get it.As the operating system really is not created by you is't it time eee asked then to provide an operating system upgrade. Fred
