Hi!

I just got an Asus Eee PC 1000 (with the SDD). Their Xandros is a
gigantic piece of crap, but I'm not having any luck booting with a USB
stick. I've tried both a Corsair and a PNY USB stick. Formatted to both
FAT16 and FAT32. Both unetbootin-eeeubuntu-linux-276 and
unetbootin_288_amd64 (I'm making it from Hardy x86_64). And both a
Ubuntu Eee 8.04.1 iso downloaded from a torrent and by direct download.

I should note that in the BIOS I've set the USB stick to have first boot
priority, and am  doing ESC ESC during the boot screen and seeing the
menu and selecting the inserted USB stick. I've also tried all 3 USB
ports on the Eee. I'm now out of ideas! What else can I try?
