[YLUG] Installing linux (Fedora 10) on a Samsung NC10 - a nice success

[Liam Wilson]

Hi

We'll have to try and get the ylug wiki back up (any luck/anything
I can do Zoe?). This would make for some great content.

I've put ubuntu 7.04 on my eeepc (need to upgrade, but can never
be bothered). Pretty straight forward, except from the fact that
the installer took a little bit of convincing before it would stop
trying to install to the internal ssd (I wanted to install to an 
external hd instead). It also decided to install grub to the ssd
rather than the external hard drive. That was partially my fault
as the option to select where grub is installed is actually in 
a side menu somewhere. I say partially my fault as I think that's
a daft place to put that option.
