It worked perfectly for me. I would like to note that my pc is running Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope and under system/administration/ there is a “USB Startup Disc Creator” program.

The small size and the Xandros distro with it's easy menu interface really makes it look like a toy.
I soon found out about Ubuntu Eee and “Easy Peasy” ,installed it am very pleased.

I tried to do the install using Easy Peasy and there doesn't seem to be an auto install option. Unless you want to use your entire disc you must choose Manual when it comes to partitioning your drive. The only options I got were Guided Entire Disk, the flash drive, and Manual. If you select manual you must select the partition from a list of partitions, and you need to understand what type of file system to format with. A bit frustrating if you're not Linux savvy. I chose Manual, the program scanned my discs and again you are shown the file partitions in Linux parlance, i.e., /dev/sda1 ntfs, etc. You are also asked if you want to check a box for formating. I would think this is obvious, but it's not so it can confuse you. If you click Format the "edit partition" dialog opens up. Now you get to make more choices. You must determine the size of the partition and you have a "Use As" drop down choice. The choices are numerous, including "Use As" swap file, Ext3 journaling file system, ext2 file system, ReiserFS journaling file system, XFS journaling file system, Fat16 and Fat 32, as well as ntfs, swap, and do not use the partition, all of which is very daunting for those of us unfamiliar with Linux. I exited at this point to do some more research! Great article thanks. I tried to do the install using Easy Peasy and there doesn't seem to be an auto install option.

Was a bugger in finding it. I also then had issues with my usb stick.... and that fix was to try an sd card. some usb sticks just won't work as boot devices. Then I had to figure out the partition thing. I deleted the d partition and made a 4096 swap file and the rest of the 60 gig partition as my root dir. you also have to name the windows partition so ubuntu can see it. Then everything worked out of the box other than my bluetooth mouse. I can sync it, but it looses sync if the computer goes to sleep. A coworker sits here using his modified kernel Ubuntu load, and he's not having any issues. Seems to either be an issue with my dongle or with Eeebuntu 2.10 standard. I've posted but noone knows an answer so far. Ya know I found that already as well. Was a bugger in finding it.

Just reboot and hit f2 repeatedly. It'll put you into the bios where you can enable/disable the boot booster. But I'm pretty sure the point of hitting esc at the splash is to get to bios, so just try that. Sorry for double reply, but I just read that it's because the boot booster has been enabled.

I updated the bios a couple of days ago and had the same problem then. I just kept rebooting it and finally saw a splash screen. it's infuriating, let me tell you. I'm having the same problem.

The 904ha. Think its the same as the 1000ha with a smaller screen. (annoyed at this, but oh well)<br><br>Anyway THERE IS NO EEE flash. The Escape method doesn't work. Now what?
