I think its probably just been updated to support the hardware (GMA500/Poulsbo) as I've mentioned below.

One way to build it would be to use an existing Linux installation to create something like a LinuxFromScratch installation. From here you would install all of the requirements to build dpkg (trust me – its a pain) and then slowly build all of the other packages. It is an absolute nightmare because package A can't be built without package B which can't be…without package X which can't be built without package A. I done this as an experiment to rebuilt Ubuntu Jaunty specifically for i686.

Not sure if you could just install Etch and then just replace all the packages which have been modified by Xandros and Asus. This may result in errors if the Debian packages were rebuilt against a Xandros/Asus dependancy.

[...] 现在Seashell系列还没有官方的预装开源操作系统的上网本发售。一些网站开始预测说发布源代码可能是在Eee PC中运行Moblin。据开发者说，Moblin 2.0在9月已经发布，而且在1008HA和1005HA都经过了测试，但是ASUS还没有官方的说明 [...]

Tech Note: These archives include files that span the various parts.
You'll need a copy of rar (I used: RAR 3.80 beta 3) other tools for
rar archives will not follow the multi-part file or give errors.
Which also means you need all five parts present in the same directory.
You should have 1542 files, none of them zero length.

The contents are those of Debian packages that have been unpackaged;
Mostly from Debian/Etch plus sources from Xandros and from ASUStek.
It includes icewm (ice window manager - from Xandros) and kde with
an admixture gnome packages.

That combination would make possible a "fast boot" and a "full boot"
distribution installation.

The ACPI stuff is customized by ASUS - making this specific to some
ASUS product (probably the 1008HA specific stuff).

Note: These source files **do not** contain an archive tool that could
un-archive the rar source archives. I.E: not self hosting.
Although they tossed in three versions of GCC. Duh...

Probably fullfills the GPL license requirements, but you will need more
than a bit of custom scripting to build from *only* these files.

[...] Asus Eee PC 1008HA Linux source code now available But this weekend Asus did something interesting. The company posted Linux source code for the Asus Eee PC 1008HA. In fact, there are 5 different downloads, ranging in size 299Mb to 488MB. I have no idea what the difference is between one and the other, and I’m not entirely sure what’s contained in the files yet. But if I had to guess, I’d say that Asus is preparing to launch a version of the Eee PC 1008HA that runs Moblin Linux. [...]

Small update: Started downloading from the begining. Seems to be based off Xandros (in turn based off Etch) still as the package versions look to be the same. I'll have to wait till more is complete to see what's changed.

Shame they don't have a torrent server.
