Anyone tried? can not say that i have, but if i had an eeepc, first thing i would do is install scientific linux on it. from what i have read on fedora tsl, there are a lot of fedora users running fedora on eeepc's and several are using usb hard drives for booting. unless scientific linux does not have drivers for some special hardware, like solid state drive, which it should, as i can not see red hat not having the ability, i see no reason why there would be any difference. > Would SL boot from usb-drive on this type of machine? if bios allows booting from a usb hard drive, then any flavor of linux should be able to if it has usb ability. give it a try, who knows, you may start a new trend. :) later. -- peace out. tc,hago. g . **** in a free world without fences, who needs gates. ** help microsoft stamp out piracy - give linux to a friend today. ** to mess up a linux box, you need to work at it. to mess up an ms windows box, you just need to *look* at it. ** learn linux: 'Rute User's Tutorial and Exposition' http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html 'The Linux Documentation Project' http://www.tldp.org/ 'LDP HOWTO-index' http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/index.html 'HowtoForge' http://howtoforge.com/ ****
