A menu to boot from either the hard drive or the USB stick will appear. Choose the stick and press Return. After a minute or two, the familiar Ubuntu-like startup menu will show up.
I picked the install option, but if you just want to kick the tires first, you can run Eeebuntu from the USB stick, just like a live CD. Most Ubuntu installations default to formatting and installing the system across the whole disk.
The eeePC has two main partitions, each of about 70 GB. I also selected to partition it with the ext4 format. Click the forward button and the installation will start. After about 10 minutes the new installation will be completed and will ask you if you want to reboot.

I tend to believe the pipeline. I love the idea of a tag along netbook. Secure it. Use it everywhere. David, Great review! I look forward to reading more about your Windows 7 experience on your new HE! Cheers, Ron Windows Outreach Team. Hi Ron! Welcome to Urban Semiotic and thanks for posting your fine comment. Are you a paid employee of MSFT or are you one of their forum volunteers? Win 7 is so much better than Vista and XP that waiting even a day longer than necessary for release is troublesome.
We need to take a step up in hardware as a nation of mindful workers and the only way to get many people to make that push into purchase is through demanding software that requires a good and fast machine. This looks super good, David. I think I need a new look on my machine. Can I install this today? Where do I get it? Glad to have you back, Anne! The Win 7 beta is no longer available. Hi David, From the title of your post, I thought that you might actually be describing your process of installing windows 7 on the he.
Would it be asking too much for this information? Would love to get my beta copy onto this machine. Not a noob, but little experience at installing from a usb thumbdrive if this was your method. Any guidance would be helpful.
