Hello
Have tried to install cloudready on a Asus Eee-PC 901, but while the Live-USB will start, the installation stops after a couple of minutes with an error message.
Anyone got it to work on this platform? Any tricks?
Thanks!

PS: On this Eee I already swapped Windows XP for Android and I thought it would be cool to try the ChromeOS implementation.

  Hi Svend,

  If your installation is failing, try :

  1) Reboot and install BEFORE LOGGING IN
  2) If that doesn't work, check the FAQ for info on manual / cmd line installation

  You need to use 8G USB memory
  after you create LIVE-USB by 8G USB memory ,start it
  1)log out
  2)ctrl+alt+F2
  3)enter ID and Password
  4)sudo dd if=/dev/sdc of=/dev/sdb
  5)enter password
  6)it takes over 5 minutes,wait until cmd prompt come back
  Now you can boot from 8G internal SSD
  /dev/sdc is device file of LIVE-USB,it may be /dev/sdd.
  have fun!

  Hi
  New ver 44 update didn't come by air,
  so I re-installed by same procedure.
  It took 30 minutes to finish dd command, sorry it's not 5 minutes.

  Hi
  Storage size is about 500Mb after Installing by dd command.
  If you can set your Eee-PC901 to dual boot with Ubuntu or other Linux
  Gparted tool can expand last partition sda1 to about 2Gb.
  Your chromium OS storage size is expanded to 2Gb.
