When I do that, I no longer get the error message; but noting
visible happens; and when I look again at the stick, it still shows the
same content as before.
I tried (several times) using liveusb-creator, figuring that
would wipe at least enough.
It kept telling me (among a variety of other errors) that it
found no live image -- on .isos that I know are, and that I have used as
live CDs.
Finally I tried F10-Beta-i686-Live.iso, just to get one with
"live" right in the name. It seemed to take that, and got as far as 96%;
next time I looked, liveusb-creator looked as if it had just been
launched. No report of success or anything else.
I unmounted, re-mounted, and started looking for something
readable. /boot/grub/menu.lst says Eeedora! That's neither what got
zapped nor what I was trying to install -- I suppose it must be left over
from the rest of the stick after Cruncheee
I unmounted and removed it, and willpresently try booting the
EeePC from it. Stay tuned.
