Does anyone know how I can turn the flash drive into a bootable install disk?
Hi Ruben,
There is some documentation on the wiki[0] but I've never used it myself.

I've used these instructions, and they are well written and work great. I install openSUSE exclusively from a USB drive on my computers now.

I'm using a cruzer micro 8g disk and its not working. When I try to boot it, it says can't boot hdd or something of that affect.

Hi
Did you change the boot device in the BIOS? Is the USB stick set as bootable? What version of the EeePC do you have? (I had succes with this tutorial and an original (701) 8G)
Oh BTW - it is a 2g surf (sky blue if it matters ;) )
Hope we can find it, but you can always use the install CD, a sub 2GB fat 16 partition and the original mkbootdisk

Hi Where do you see the problem? Before installing? >> is the USB stick itself set as bootable? (fdisk -l <usbstick>, doe s it show a *?) Do you see the problem after installing but @ first boot? >> Suse 10.3 didn't see that the first harddisk was used to install it (and was an USB key) so it put Grub on the MBR of the USB stick. This resulted in needing the USB stick to boot. When the EEE was booted I could remove the key, no problems. Using 11.0 fixed this. Please answer all of my questions. You missed the question:
Is the USB stick set as bootable?
Oh BTW - it is a 2g surf (sky blue if it matters ;) ) Nah, just wanted to know wether it was a 701 or a 901 or a 1000 or a 63478162439642982347568924735723478 or something else entirely. You, my good man, have a 701 with a Centrino CPU, a Physon ssd and Atheros network cards, if I am not mistaking.
