[sf-lug] Urgent help request with Asus EeePC

[Sam Geffner]

I bought an EeePC to have on an upcoming trip.  I leave Friday evening. I
have been struggling for 5 days to get a bootable flash drive with Ubuntu on
it so I can install Ubuntu Gutsy with Hamachi and VNC.  I followed the
directions at
http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/09/28/usb-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon-install/
and have a partitioned media stick which looks right but doesn';t boot.
Clearly there is something about the bootloader that escapes me.  Can anyone
please offer some email support or even some hands-on help [Noe Valley]
before Friday?  Installing Hamachi and VNC on the crippled Xandros that
comes bundled with the Eee would also be an option.

Thanks all
