New question #43495 on Ubuntu Eee: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu-eee/+question/43495
I got an Asus Eee PC 4G a couple of months back with XP installed. In reading various forums about this computer, I became intrigued with the Linux option. I installed Ubuntu HH as a dual-boot system on an XP desktop machine and am really like it. I want to keep XP on the SSD hard drive, with the ability run Linux off a USB thumb drive or SDHC card. Using UnetBootin, I have installed Puppy linux and eeeTiger linux ISO's to USB thumbdrives and, using ESC at boot, been able to create persistent installations on the thumbdrives. (Oddly, I have not had equal luck with SDHC cards using the built in card reader). Still, I really like Ubuntu after using it on my desktop. I downloaded Ubuntu Eee 8.04.1 RC when it was released and "burned" it to a thumbdrive using UnetBootin. When I booted the Asus Eee of the live thumbdrive and attempted to install it to a SDHC card (I tried a couple different ones) the installation was only at around 30% after 12 hours. I abandoned that. I then tried using one "Live" thumbdrive to install Ubuntu to another USB thumbdrive. This seemed to work but when I attempted to boot the new thumbdrive, I get Error 21: Selected Disk does not work. What am I doing wrong? What is the best way to get a persistent version of Ubuntu Eee to run off an SDHC Card or a USB thumbdrive without touching the Windows XP OS on the SSD? -- You received this question notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Eee Coders, which is an answer contact for Ubuntu Eee. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-eee-coders Post to : ubuntu-eee-coders@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-eee-coders More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
