Remote Control Tip

Once you've got the wireless connection up and running, get Terminal up - Ctrl-Alt-T - type krfb. You'll then be able to setup the machine to be remotely controlled using any VNC type program - once the Remote Desktop program is up and running use Configure and setup uninvited invitations.

This makes it easy to edit the eeePC from your comfy chair and keyboard.

Add Text Editor and sudo user File Manger

Use

sudo kwrite \opt\xandros\share\AsusLauncher\simpleui.rc

and add the following just before the "</simpleui>" at the end of the file.

<parcel simplecat="Work" extraargs="kwrite"
	icon="asus_norm.png" 
	selected_icon="asus_hi.png" >
	<name lang="en">Text Editor</name>
</parcel>

<parcel simplecat="Work" extraargs="sudo kwrite"
	icon="asus_norm.png" 
	selected_icon="asus_hi.png" >
