As we discussed at the meet, I was trying to change my 2G surf eeepc to Ubuntu. Here's the update:<br><br>Install to SDHC, deleting partitions on SSD<br>Install Hardy Desktop = failed - process halted<br> Install to Gutsy Desktop = failed - process halted<br>Install to Feisty Alternate = failed - Ethernet and Wifi disabled. Unable to reinitialise them<br>Install to Hardy Alternate = failed - Refused to move beyond login screen<br>Install to Gutsy Alternate = successful (so far) - Ethernet working and updates in progress.<br><br>Upgrade to Hardy? Word on the web is not recommended for the eeepc at this time. Several key drivers disabled.<br><br>Hope this helps those of you who are Ubuntu fans and those who expressed an interrest in my eeepc last thursday.<br><br>Cheers<br><br>Paul<br>
