But I have one request - if you can find the time can you please add an entry about installing Karmic Koala on an SD or SDHC card (or USB thumbdrive)? In this way you can leave the Xandros or Windows OS on the SSD intact and have a Ubuntu/Xandros multiboot. The reason for my question is that a full install of Ubuntu on a SD / SDHC card or USB drive or USB disk can be problematic. GRUB does not always like it (refuses to boot from external devices) and especially USB drives are not automatically flagged as bootable. thanks in advance...
