Howto: Install Ubuntu 8.04 on an EeePc 901
I've spent some time today ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) on an eeePC 901. All the information on how to do it is out there but scattered across a number of websites so I'm putting together a quick howto. The ubuntu site has a lot of information on 700 and 900 but not a lot on 901. As the hardware is mostly the same for the 1000, I suspect that a good deal of this will work on that unit, but I have no practical experience with the 1000. I am assuming that you have some linux knowledge and are relatively comfortable in a terminal.
There are a number of ways of doing this. The eee doesn't have a CD/DVD drive and I didn't have a USB drive handy so I did the install off a USB Stick.
