Re: [tlug] Japanese support, IME, etc. on ASUS eeePC

[Ryu Wada <ryu@example.com>]

Hi all,

The ways shown there might work but they are not helpful enough for TLUG
users.  You will need a decent text editor that supports Japanese input
method (i.e. emacs) anyway, and I tested it to work as explained here:

http://run.sh/comp/eeepc.html.ja

I summarized the way to set up Japanese environment with Emacs on Xandros
and that should also have GCC development tools installed.

I can tranlate it into English if there are some demands from you all.

# I have EeePC 901 English version imported from abroad.

Regards,
Ryu
