When I do that, I no longer get the error message; but noting visible happens; and when I look again at the stick, it still shows the same content as before. I tried (several times) using liveusb-creator, figuring that would wipe at least enough. It kept telling me (among a variety of other errors) that it found no live image -- on .isos that I know are, and that I have used as live CDs. Finally I tried F10-Beta-i686-Live.iso, just to get one with "live" right in the name. It seemed to take that, and got as far as 96%; next time I looked, liveusb-creator looked as if it had just been launched. No report of success or anything else. I unmounted, re-mounted, and started looking for something readable. /boot/grub/menu.lst says Eeedora! That's neither what got zapped nor what I was trying to install -- I suppose it must be left over from the rest of the stick after Cruncheee .... I unmounted and removed it, and willpresently try booting the EeePC from it. Stay tuned. -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
