I also have an EeePC 701 with 512Mb memory and a 4Gb SSD drive.


First you can't do a graphics install on this with F14, as it is really 
only 503Mb memory (Video is stealing that 8+Mb).  So I either upgrade 
the memory (working on that) or do a text install and then install gnome 
later.

Then 4Gb disk just does not cut it.  So I have a 8Gb SD card and I 
partition as follows:

On the SSD drive:

A 200Mb ext3 /boot partition (for this system, I can't see any value of 
using ext4).
A 1.5Gb swap partition.
A ~2.2Gb ext3 /var/log partition (your most active system directory).

On the SD card:

An 8Gb LVM partition with a max sized / ext3 partition.

Build a local f14 update repo and during the install point to it so 
after the install, you don't have to go and update everything you 
installed!  Do it once.

Also I have a local F14 base repo and I boot of CD 1 with the askmethod 
option so I can point to the local repo and install over the nextwork 
faster than reading from the USB CD drive.

Hope this helps.  I first had F12 on my Eeee, and recently moved ot 
F13.  F14 is waiting for the memory boost.
