<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Dear Paul,<br>
<br>
I have tried that a few times. I tried two ways of making the
bootable USB, too, just in case I had messed <i>that</i> up! I
might have done that, of course, being a bit clueless but as far
as I can see the only way with this little netbook is to go the
route of a non-USB/DVD install. So far, there seem two ways to do
that but I'm a bit fearful of doing that on my own. The problem
seems to be that there doesn't seem to be any other option than
the #1 SATA HDD as a booting option in the BIOS. <br>
<br>
But thanks, again, for your concern.<br>

<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:part9.09080003.08000400@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 moz-do-not-send="true"
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

alt=":wink:" title="Wink"> <br>
<br>
Plop boot manager, it seems that you can install it
on your hard drive<br>

<br>
I also checked in the Tutorials and came across <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
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>
Nic Deane<br>
