[edit] Different ways of installing Easy Peasy on the Eee

Way of installation	Pros	Cons
From a Live Easy Peasy image on a USB stick	You don't have to use a CD The installation is fast	You need a memory card or a USB stick
With an external CD/DVD drive	It's the default installation way Some computers can't boot from USB-sticks.	You need an external CD/DVD drive You need to burn a DVD or HD CD Installation is slower than through USB
Over the Internet using a bootable USB stick	Up-to-date packages, no need to update after installation Works on small USB sticks (>= 16MB)	Slow installation due to need to download all the packages
install: from a Live Easy Peasy CD directly onto an SD card using a desktop(or laptop) pc	Boot loader is installed onto SD card, Xandros boot loader is untouched The installation is VERY fast Eee PC can still be booted to internal HD with or without SD card in Slightly faster boot because Grub boot time can be 0 sec	You need a USB/memory card adapter or an SD card slot You need to hold "Esc" at each power up to select boot drive Boot booster must be disabled in bios (seems to only affect Xandros boot)
Install over NFS from a Mac hosting the live image	Works when you only have a Mac (don't need a Linux or Windows machine to set things up) You don't need a USB drive or a CD	You need a Mac (but could easily be adapted for Linux) A bit slow to copy the files
