[HLUG] dell mini 10v ubuntu netbook

[dicegeorge at hotmail dot com]

yes -
my first dell laptop
i used to take its battery out
and run it straight from a car battery
which was powered direct from a rutland windmill
on the roof of my bus!

my friend wants to charge it from a solar panel,
hopefully it wont take many watts as it has a SD card not a hard drive
