Preparation
To start off, open a terminal and go to the directory where you want to build the virtual eee PC. The directory needs at least 5GB of free space available (4GB for the virtual hard disk and 885MB for the iso image).
# cd /path/to/dir
Download the 701 eee PC iso image from SourceForge to the current directory.
e.g.
# wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/eeecommunity/L701_EN_1.0.6.6.iso?modtime=1206638343&big_mirror=0
Download this archive into the current directory. The archive contains a new xorg.conf and drivers (which I [Jared] compiled) for Qemu's virtual network card.
e.g.
# wget http://www.wombattechnology.com.au/media/qemu-eeepc/eee701-qemu.tar.bz2
Unpack the tar archive.
# tar --bzip2 -xvf eee701-qemu.tar.bz2
Create a blank 4GB virtual hard disk for the VM using qemu-img.
# qemu-img create -f raw vm_eee701.disk0 4001M
