[Discussion] Does anyone have ecs 2.0 running on an eeepc?

[Joseph J. Hansen]

Yes, it has _three_ USB 2.0 ports.  But it also has a built-in SD/ 
SDHC card reader.  I don't have an external USB CD drive, so my  
thought is to put a disk image on the SDHC card (using another  
computer) and boot from that.  If I wanted to buy an external CD  
drive, that should work too, as should a memory stick or an external  
HDD.  Pressing Esc as soon as the boot process begins causes the BIOS  
to search for, and display, all bootable devices so that the user may  
choose.

What I'm especially interested in is knowing whether anyone else here  
has Ecs (or OS/2) running on an eeepc and if so, how they did it.

Thanks, Joe
