hi!

I've managed to use the usb-creator to make a usb stick "bootable".

I've managed to get the eeepc 1201n to try to boot from the usb stick and not go directly to Win/7.

So, with all this, I am still stuck.

I see this prompt and have no idea what to type:


boot:

Does anyone know what to type to get toe the Ubuntu install screen (where you can choose to install, or not)?

Thanks for your help!
GF

Maybe something went wrong when you installed Ubuntu on that flash drive
I also have the 1201n and of course I plugged in the flash drive
pressed f2 when ASUS popped up and changed my harddrive to boot from the flash drive
and then ubuntu booted up

Was the iso file you used a good one and not corrupted in any way? Try and use a torrent client to download it if possible, if it turns out not to be good after a check of the md5sum.

Transmission is very good, and to save bandwidth you can put the current iso file into the download folder where transmission puts its downloaded files and then only the "broken" parts of your current iso will need to be downloaded again, not the whole 699 MBs.
