Hi all,

I have been trying 9.04 on my eepc via a USB drive with a live session on it and it works OK. Decided to install a live session to an SD card (a bit tidier) but ran into problems at 40%. at 40% a quick message pops up saying creating a persistence file then a message to re-boot to use disk. Does not progress of course when I boot form the SD card.

Set up is an external CD to boot the eepc into a live session of 9.04. I then run the create startup disk option and insert the SD card - a 4G SDHC card. It identifies it OK and I then selected 1G of space for the documents and config etc. The image I am using is on the USB CD drive - just wonder if I am stretching the limits of the PC and its USB systems.

The USB drive I have been playing with was created with another PC (which cannot read the SDHC cards).

Any ideas?
