Hi Kevin,
As I recall, the first thing I did was use my desktop machine to download a
copy of the Xubuntu live CD. I then booted that on my desktop machine and
clicked the desktop link to make a bootable USB drive of Xubuntu. Either that,
or I downloaded and installed UNbootin (http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/) to
make a bootable USB drive. When I booted the Eepc, I had to press F2 to get
it to boot from the USB drive. Once I had Xubuntu booted, instalation to the
Epc went like clockwork. Then I downloaded the customized Epc kernel
from Array.org and installed that (http://www.array.org/ubuntu/) and since
then, everything just works and I take my Epc everywhere with a big penguin
on top for everyone to see. Hope that helps,
- mark

Hi Kevin,
That is how I completed my buntu install.
If you're in the local area I can give you a
hand...otherwise I can find my notes (I made a
few) and send them to you (just have to find them :))
Regards,
Patrick
[SLUG] setting up to install eeebuntu via thumbdrive

SLUGgers,
I have fallen into a black hole regarding setting up a
thumbdrive so
that I can install eeebuntu on my eee 701. I've
found some very expert
advice if I were running Ubuntu or even Windows on my
desktop, but
Debian Etch doesn't seem to rate a mention
(unetbootin might work if I
could install it but it says that the i386 version is
64 bit).
Can someone please point me to a URL that might let me
achieve Nirvana?
Thanks,
Kevin.
btw - the reason I'd be interested is that Xandros
has clagged out my
network connections and I can't see why - probably
parallel
configurations with the less useful winning. Anyway -
it's sexy to keep
changing (?)
