I wanted to try OpenSuse 11.3 on my Asus EEE pc 901 by booting from a live usb stick. But ASUS refuses to recognize the stick on boot. Once it boots up, it can see the stick, but it does not show up as an option in the boot menu. The stick itself is fine. I used it on another laptop, and it boots quite happily. It's 4G, divided into two partition. The first partition is marked as bootable. I created the stick from the LiveCD iso image using the imagewriter, as suggested on the Wiki. Various threads on EEE PC user forum suggest that 701 and 901 may not recognize bootable USB sticks unless they are formatted as FAT16 or FAT32. FDisk says that the first (bootable) partition on the stick is iso9660. Assuming that the problem is indeed the file system type, is there a way to convert that liveUSB filesystem to fat32? Or has anyone else succeeded in booting the LiveUSB? I don't have an external CD drive, so unless I find a way to boot from it, I cannot install opensuse.
