    Is it possible to boot from the SD card ? My EEE had this feature and I installed Ubuntu Linux on a SD card and it worked Great. Just wondering if this is possible with the AOA 150 ..

    Install GRUB to MBR - it will work but it's cheating...

    Originally I did ask about SD and the answer was No so I wanted to know about USB as well.

    I just finished a Ubuntu 8.10 install to an 8 gig USB stick and all seems to work fine with the exception of my wireless driver..
