mindwave Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 I just bought an Asus eeepc 1000HD great item (especially at $250) 1gb ram, 160gb hd 10" screen etc. it will ALSO boot from an SD card. I know because I was able to load the "YOU CAN CODE" version of KUBU on an 8GB SD (with room to spare), and it boots fine AND allows me to practice some coding. BTW this is a great edition of Linux Format Magazine, I highly recommend it. But anyway, I know I could buy or create my own MDV flash USB key, BUT that sticks WAY out from the side of the little beastie. whereas the SD cards slide right in the side. My wife wants me to keep XP, and rather than dual boot I thought if I could install it to an SD card the way kubu did, it wouldnt have to touch the HD at all. So assuming MDV's installer sees the SD card as a USB HARD DRIVE, I'm pretty sure that once I got done with the install, there are some changes I would have to make, to ensure I didnt overwrite the boot sector/\\if anyone could lead me to a "HOWTO" it would be greatly appreciated.
