Did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?

Following instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM, I ran:

laptop:~/Downloads$ md5sum ubuntu-10.10-netbook-i386.iso

And saw:
6877bf8d673b87ba9500b0ff879091d0 ubuntu-10.10-netbook-i386.iso
seems to match:
6877bf8d673b87ba9500b0ff879091d0 *ubuntu-10.10-netbook-i386.iso
from here:
http://releases.ubuntu.com/maverick/MD5SUMS

I'm not slick enough with terminal to make it cd/ to the usb stick to see what is there. Would take advice on that, but so far it looks like a good file.

Could try unetbootin to make the USB

Unetbootin did the trick. I copied the iso to the stick from my ubuntu machine as well as a windows version of unetbotin and then ran the program on the asus. Rebooted and it worked!

Thanks for your help.
