I've been following this thread.. a bit puzzled... have you:
1. Plugged in the USB stick before booting the EEE 2. Booted the EEE and pressed F2 during the boot sequence to go into the BIOS 3. Set the USB device as the first hard drive 4. Pressed F10 to save and boot again (this is the process I follow on my EEE and it works every time)
1. I plugged in the USB stick before booting the EEE 2. I booted EEE and pressed F2 on boot 3. This is where the failure comes: the USB device does not show up as a hard drive. There are reports of this floating on the internet, and people seem to think that the reason is file system type: EEE bios does not recognize anything other than FAT16 or FAT32 at boot time (though it is fine with other file system types it once the kernel is loaded). Hence my question about whether it is possible to easily change the file system type on the live USB stick Here's one of the threads mentioning the fs type problem: http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=43611 Myrosia -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
