Stay tuned. For some reason, whenever I put a thumbstick into the EeePC, it offers to boot from either of two. Usually one of those choices leads merely to a grub error; it did this time. When I chose the other (apparently Eeedora), however, it booted Crunchee. Crunchee is what's on the hard drive; my guess is that the first, imaginary stick confuses Grub; but that the second simply defaults to the hard drive. Iow, that ex-Crunchee stick, which should have F10 Live, and pretends to have Eeedora, actually has nothing bootable at all. This despite my attempts to format it with gnome-format and to install any of several live CDs with liveusb-creator. -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
