I don't know if the EEE 1001HA has the option in the BIOS that has OS
Installation toggle or not. If it does, make sure the toggle is set to
Finished. If it isn't, the webcam won't work correctly. I believe AJL
has one of these. So maybe AJL might see this and let us know what his
BIOS settings looks like.
