Your EeePC900 has windows= hard to use<br>
<br>
To do a lot of what I describe in the wiki :<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Category:Live_USB#FEDORA_based_Live_USB.27s">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Category:Live_USB#FEDORA_based_Live_USB.27s</a><br>
<br>
You need to run linux<br>
<br>
buy a cheap Seagate free agent or similar usb external HD (250 GB or
smaller) <br>
(available in office max or staples usually on sale ~$60.00)<br>
<br>
on another machine or with an external usb DVD/CD writer<br>
<br>
Boot with a fedora 12 install CD<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora">http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora</a> <br>
<br>
and install to the external USB drive.<br>
<br>
Transfer the external drive to the EeePC and start it<br>
Hit <ESC> key during boot<br>
select the USB drive and start fedora<br>
in Terminal:<br>
su<br>
password<br>
yum install liveusb-creator<br>
(you can even install Sugar as a separate desktop on it)<br>
yum install sugar*<br>
<br>
Then all of the features described in the wiki will be easy to use...<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi All,
In my experiments trying to create usable SoaS sticks, I have had a few flops. Unfortunately these USB sticks now have a severe "identity crisis." They believe they are actually CDs. You can't write to them. You can't rename them (at least not in a way a mere mortal like me knows how to do). Do I have to just junk them (like throwing away money... not good). Or, is there an easy way to reformat them and start all over? Maybe even a hard way?
Thanks,
Caryl
