Welcome; great to have you around :-)
I have an Asus R2Hv which has a PentiumM processor - it does not have SSE3 support (only SSE2). Can I install one of the images for the eee701 and then add the Moblin repositories?
So - that sounds fine; last I checked we don't turn on any of the SSE3 optimisations during compile time, so (in contrast to the Intel builds) - you should be fine. That opens the question as to whether we should in fact turn them on ;-) quite possibly we should - particularly for glibc's memory copy / movement logic I guess.
Also, which Xorg is being used? I tried this machine with the standard 11.1, but Xorg fails on the intel driver. It seems a fix has been made upstream, but isn't available in Xorg 7.4. The R2Hv has an Intel Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML graphics controller with a 7" 800x480 display.
If you can, you might want to try adding the Moblin:Factory repo, and doing a zypper dup - that should give you the latest Xorg that we use [ and latest kernel too with luck ].
Is there a live image I can try before installing?
Thus far, no - Andrew was working on one I believe - it's mostly a matter of twiddling the kiwi file in a sensible way, and then waiting for the re-build. If you wanted to look at that, it'd be most welcome - in the Moblin:Images/Image-opensuse repo there is the kiwi file - that needs tweaking [ are you on #opensuse-moblin on freenode ? ].
