I had asked the version of eCS because as I recall, there was work done 
with eCS 2.0 RC6a to allow installation from a USB connected CD.  If you 
are already using eCS 2.0 RC6a then either there is some changes 
required in the advanced screen or there was something else they did 
that I don't recall.  You might search for the write ups on installing 
to the eeepc things.  I believe that might have been where they were 
having to use a USB connected CD for install.
