For some reason, whenever I put a thumbstick into the EeePC, it
offers to boot from either of two. Usually one of those choices leads
merely to a grub error; it did this time.
When I chose the other (apparently Eeedora), however, it booted
Crunchee.
Crunchee is what's on the hard drive; my guess is that the first,
imaginary stick confuses Grub; but that the second simply defaults to the
hard drive. Iow, that ex-Crunchee stick, which should have F10 Live, and
pretends to have Eeedora, actually has nothing bootable at all. This
despite my attempts to format it with gnome-format and to install any of
several live CDs with liveusb-creator.
