10.4 on the mini 12? Jolicloud works out of the box (it seems that everything works except for the ability to change screen resolutions). I'm hoping that means the latest Ubuntu works too! Does it?

How can I install both Ubuntu and XP on my Mini 12? It came with XP, but I installed Hardy on it using the instructions on post #94 in this thread.

Is it possible for me to have both XP and...

I too would love to see someone post a detailed how-to for those of us who are new to Ubuntu. I'd love to give it a shot, but I'm definitely an Ubuntu newbie (my main computer is a Mac).

The mini 12 with Ubuntu works fine "out of the box"? That's simply not true - unless you bought a Mini 12 that came with Ubuntu originally. Even then, some people have had problems with it...

Question #1 - BACKUP!

I bought a 60 gig HD Mini 12 that came with XP. I managed to install Ubuntu 8.04 UNR by following the instructions on post #94 in this thread. It's working great! Can I...

Just out of curiosity - does the Dell version of Hardy have the HD power management clicking issues?

Also - thanks to all of you for the info in this thread! Good god, there are some brilliant...

Got it - done. I've completed everything from post #94 and confirmed it works.

Now a question: I'm noticing a "chk chk" sound every now and then. Is it the HD? Is it something I need to worry...

OK. Now I'm stuck on step 3 (from post #94)



Drop the firmware file...? Where do I find the firmware file, and then how do I figure out the proper directory for the kernel I'm running?

I'm...

I'm also trying to follow the instructions on post #94 (I couldn't figure out how to install the belmont image, whereas the UNR 8.0.4 image installed easily).

So... I'm following post #94, but...

Let's say I have a belmont .img file. Is there a way for me to turn it into a bootable flash drive? Can I somehow do this on my Mac? In other words, can I use my Mac to turn the img file into a...

Am I better off trying to find Dell's "Belmont" version?

Three questions:

#1 - I'm ok with wiping out my HD and starting from scratch so long as there is a way for me to revert back to XP if I need to. My mini 12 came with restoration CDs. Will I be...

I bought a refurbished mini 12 that came with XP. I desperately want to get ubuntu working on it, even if it's just Dell's funky version.

How do I do this?!?

The instructions I've seen in this...

Some text flew by, and now I'm at another prompt which follows the statement "fatal server error. no screens found. giving up"

...?

I installed Ubuntu on a Dell Mini 12 using Wubi. All seems to be fine, except that I can't figure out how to log in.

When I restart the laptop, it gives me an option to choose windows XP or...
