Does the web book have additional SD card slots?  I remember my Acer 
netbook had two additional SD card slots.  Booting from a CD ROM I could 
select where to install the OS; on the internal flash or my external SD 
card.  This allowed me to have a dual boot configuration and keep the 
old OS until I was certain it would work on the my netbook.  It might 
work here as well.

Alternatively, try adding an external hard drive and installing it on there.
