I used a powered hub to power the meegopad and to provide keyboard and
mouse and the USB to install from.

The EFI on the system is only 32bit EFI so you have to build a bootia32.efi
and pop that on the USB then it boots fine.
You have to keep pressing "Del" to get to the firmware (bios) then go to
the "Save & Exit" and choose the USB device to boot from.

Make sure that you don't disable USB while fiddling as some others have
done as you will be a bit stuffed! And have to wait for
an update from the seller.

The only problem I have is that the sound does not work yet. I'm putting
windows back on it (I backed up the MMC before installing linux)
so I can get the ACPI device ids for the audio sub system so hopefully I
can hack up a driver fro linux.

Cheers,
Paul
