I recently purchased a "Acer - Aspire One Netbook AO751H-1346" which comes without an optical drive. The following installation methods via USB drive failed: - Live (gnome) - Live-KDE - Live-XFCE - netboot.iso to disk as live image I eventually got an 8GB usb drive, and following instructions to create two partitions, installing boot.iso to the first, and placing the DVD iso on the second partition -- I'm not a big fan of the DVD install -- but it worked. Definition of "failed" : BIOS seems to successfully pass off execution to the boot loader on the USB drive, then display goes white. Pressing any key causes "press [Tab] key to change options" message to scroll by under the white screen. Booting of Live image shows no sign of continuing to boot. And everything is unresponsive until restart. I tried 3 USB drives of various ages. This is currently the only Fedora list that I am on, and I am not sure what component I should file a bug against, yet I think that this is an important enough problem to follow up on. -- Fedora 10 (www.pembo13.com)
