To supplement storage space with the initial purchase of the Aspire One (8 GB SSD version), I bought a 16 GB Transcend TS16GBSDHC6 card that integrates nicely into the left card slot. The pre-installed Linux Linpus just wasn't what I needed since I use many networking tools at work and at home. I initially ran Ubuntu 8.041 with the
/home partition on the 16 GB SDHC card. I discovered
Eeebuntu while searching for information on how to boot and run Linux off a SDHC card. The goal was of multi-boot installations of Ubuntu, with one install specifically loaded with the tools I use at work. The Acer Aspire One BIOS does not 'see' the card, so you can't boot from it using the [F12] startup key (More on the SDHC boot up further in this article).

Title says it all.
Since the instructions are generic enough for any old -buntu, I'll be giving it a shot with my LXDE-based Jaunty Jackalope setup as soon as I my USB SD card reader arrives (my camera uses xD cards, which are still a no-go with 2.6.28 kernels).
