<div> Dear friends,<br>
<br>
I have been lurking in the background watching all your
traffic with interest. Although I have used Linux for some
years now I am still very much a newbie in abilities. I
live very close to the Rake and Pikel and would love to
drop in sometime but Thursday evenings are not always good
for me.<br>
<br>
I wonder if anyone from the LUG group could help me with
my netbook problem. I posted on the Mint Forums and got
some pointers as indicated below:<br>

<div>I run Mint 15 Cinnamon on my Inspiron 15 - have
been using Mint now for some years <img src="cid:part7.06030805.06080800@btinternet.com" alt=":)" title="Smile"> . Last year, while visiting
South Korea, I bought a Samsung NC 110P (Model code NT
NC110 PSW) with a Korean keyboard - so I could I type
in Korean easily. It came with Windows 7 Starter in
Korean. I hoped I might be able to load Linux Mint but
on opening the BIOS I discovered it has no option to
boot into USB - it doesn't have a DVD drive. I've
tried loading Mint on to a USB stick but, of course,
that won't boot, either. I have used Mint4win and can
run Mint 15 MATE within Windows and everything that I
need seems to work. As far as I can see the hardware
for a NC110 will run Mint 15 (MATE 32bit at least - I
seem to have an accelerator problem for Cinnamon with
this netbook). <br>
<br>
Is there any way of installing Mint as my main OS on
this netbook and wiping Windows from the hard drive
because Mint would then run much faster, wouldn't it?
I no longer have Windows on my Inspiron <img src="http://part7.06030805.06080800@btinternet.com" alt=":)" title="Smile"> .<br>
<br>
Any ideas? If any of the Korean friends can help me -
that would be an added bonus! 누구나 저를 도와 주시면 감사하겠읍니다!<br>
<br>
Many thanks!<br>

Ok, 1 last shot <img src="cid:part13.05040006.00070908@btinternet.com" alt=":wink:" title="Wink"> <br>
<br>
Plop boot manager, it seems that you can install it on
your hard drive<br>
<a href="http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager/full.html" target="_blank">http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager/full.html</a><br>
<a href="http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager/download.html" target="_blank">http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager/download.html</a><br>
<br>
I also checked in the Tutorials and came across <a href="http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/171" target="_blank">http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/171</a>
describing How to install Mint with no USB/CD. I tried
working through things as per the Tutorial but I've got a
bit stuck and don't feel confident to go any further.<br>
<br>
I wonder if there was anyone who would be willing to give
me a couple of hours - perhaps at the Rake and Pikel (I'll
be glad to host refreshments!) - to get Mint installed
properly on to my netbook. I can run Mint within Windoz
but it is just a bit slower and I don't need (Korean)
Windows 7 and so would be glad to ditch it from the
netbook once Mint is up and running. <br>
<br>
My wife and I are leaving for the USA for a couple of
weeks holiday on the 28th August and would like to take
the netbook with me as my traveling computer.<br>
<br>
Is there any chance of a little help before then?<br>
<br>
Many thanks for your attention.<br>
<br>
Best wishes,<br>
<br>
