OK, just tried the craftivism (dvd/usb) iso and had the same results
(installable after patching ubiquity, but boots to grub prompt). then
tried the craftivism cd iso and had the same results too.

Well I suspect not (the patch with which I fix ubiquity seems to be
easy clean and successful), but if it's just me then I can't be sure.

If anyone has positive results installing on an Eee 701 (you'll
probably need the patch too *) that'd help me eliminate that aspect
from my enquiries.
