Hi Folks,



Its time to rip Moblin & replace with Fedora on my asus netbook.

I setup an image using the instructions on htis link...



http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD/USBHowTo#System_Requirements



but upon boot, i get a short quick error msg and then moblin boots.

Has anyone successfully used the usb drive approach to load fedora on a
netbook/



if so, any clues to share?



tia, jackc...

I'm probably misunderstanding what you're trying to do, but here's how I do it:
on my Aspire One:
1. Download a live cd
2. Install livecd-tools
3. use livecd-iso-to-disk to place the iso image on a bootable USB stick
4. Boot from the USB stick and select install on hard drive

hey Steven,



i think you get it just fine. i was using the liveusb gui to create the
usbstick.

i saw the command line option in the page referenced above, but didnt
try it.



i'll give that a whirl.



are you still running 1 GB or ram? i am concerned about how fast (or
not) my result

netbook performance may be...



thx!!

I'm running with no swap, 1GB RAM, and no complaints about the speed.

Great! as you mention no swap, is that a recommended config for netbooks or just your choice?
