Ubuntu on the Asus Eee PC

C K Sample III has posted in his Sample the Web blog instructions on how to run a functional Ubuntu install off a USB drive.



He has articulated the instructions into five easy steps that are actually easy to follow:

Step 1: Make a bootable Ubuntu USB Pendrive

Step 2: Make sure you have an active Ethernet connection

Step 3: Boot into Ubuntu Live Persistent mode—Start up the Eee and hit the Escape key (ESC).

Step 4: Make those windows draggable

Step 5: Enable the WiFi.
After rebooting repeat step 3 above to get ready to install.

Full detailed instructions of the steps are included in the tutorial, which is available here.
