Ok, with mkfs.ext2 is *does* boot. I just had to press esc to enable the boot menu on my eee.
Great instructions, bookmarked.

not bootable with ext2. stuck on error at grub setup:
Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition

linux boys should go back to how-to-make-software-simpler-more-logical-more-reliable school.

grub -> setup resulted in something about cannot mount…
changed
mkfs.vfat to mkfs.ext2 fixed it.

excellent procedure! I tried a few and this is the most non-intrusive and simple.

thanks a lot!
