Ubuntu 10.04 UNR
Geez. Suzanne’s netbook randomly died on her yesterday (WinXP won’t boot, it BSODs and cycles itself repeatedly) – and the “TechGuys” recovery partition (which replaces the WinXP install CD) just trashes the entire XP install. Thanks. No really. Thanks.
So I grab a copy of Ubuntu 10.04 UNR and try to install it via USB (as there’s no CD drive in the netbook – and I’m lacking a USB CD drive).
It’s been 24 hours now, and I’ve still not got it working. For someone who’s done plenty of initrd hacking, I’m shocked it’s *this* hard. But still, I will prevail. I must prevail. It is just an inanimate object after all.
