Well I would love to say I did this, but all I’ve achieved is starting and shutting down Windows all day. I hit the power button and press the escape key, I see the selection screen for about a 1/100th of a second, then Windows starts again. Windows seems to override the BIOS on my Asus EeePC 1025PEM. It’s unstoppable. With each Windows boot taking several minutes, it’s a nightmare.

I'm so glad I found this site. I was trying to install Eeebuntu and wipe my Windows OS, but every website I was on just stopped before telling you how to install Linux on your HD. This may be a trivial thing, but I've NEVER used Linux before so it wasn't so intuitive. Thanks again whoever wrote/posted this.

For those having trouble booting from a USB key with an eee 901. After formatting my USB key (FAT32), then using the unetbootin with eeebuntu-NBR 3.0.1, I had to do this:

Go into bios -> Boot menu -> Hard disks (NOT boot order)
Change the first entry in the list to "USB Cruzer+" (the name of my USB key)
THEN go into boot order and change the 1st boot up drive to the USB key.

If I didn't set the 1st drive as my removable drive, it would not let me boot from the USB key.

You rock! At last a full guide to the EEEBunto installation. For a Mac user who actually uses computers rather than messing about with their guts this guide is unparallelled. No other guide mentions that 'Administration' panel and 'Install'. Well done for conquering geekdom!

Now my EEE Pc is an equal to my Mac for convenience and useability.

Installed from a pen drive…excellent package. Is there a way to save the settings in Thunderbird and Firefox when you log out and on again?

I have been using the pendrivelinux eeebuntu install method because I can save my changes back to the stick.

Yup. In fact, you could do the same thing with a USB disc drive or any
other sort of removable media.

Is it possible to put the iso on an sd card and then boot from that? If so I could put eeebuntu on an sd card in the eee pc's slot while I am testing eeebuntu to see if I like it. Much tidier than having a usb drive sticking out the side.

I will try it tonight and report back…

After I boot the SD disk, all that comes up is a screen that says unetbootin and thats it. So now what do I do
