What is the hard disk configuration on the EEE? What else have you installed on it? No. of partitions? How many USB ports do you have?
So far I tried Unetbootin ( downloaded from Sf.net) to make USB image for open suse but does not work , but I am able to get into "linux rc" using it
I am also having a Idea S10e, with single partition occupied with XP. I will try this on next Sunday. http://www.thatsabsurd.net/2008/12/xp-and-ubuntu-dual-boot-s10e/
