It boots up way to slow. It’s supposed to be a gadget, not a server.

Thanks TomD. Those instructions worked well. I just needed to download dd.exe and save that to the same directory where I had my .img file. After opening a CMD window and running the dd line as per the link, all seems to have worked. I’ll now try it on my Kohji SH8. I’ll come back with a report later.

Not sure if anyone’s still reading this, but I got the image to work. Liliputing has a short read on how to create a bootable USB using Windows at http://www.liliputing.com/2008/09/first-ubuntu-mobile-image-released-kinda-runs-on-netbooks.html

Just be CAREFUL with the dd command, as essentially it means “destroy disk,” so it will wipe any data that was previously on the drive you’re copying to.

If anyone could post a link to a bootable ISO, I’d greatly appreciate it.

Well, I was able to use MagicISO to extract the image, however all I get while booting is an invalid system disk message.

I’ll have access to an Ubuntu box on Monday, hopefully I’ll be able to install it then and post impressions on UMPC Portal.

He misread the memory. About half of the memory that’s “taken” is taken by the disk cache. Around 300MB with Firefox seems decent.

I am sure whether my question is correct.. in front of android and iphone… will these devices have a good market share??

It’s not 8.1 it’s 8.10. The numbering scheme is based on the month and year of release. For instance, 8.04 was released in the fourth month of 2008 and 8.10 will be out in October.

I’d love to try this out, but I don’t have another Linux install handy. Is there any way to make the image file in Windows? I tried rawrite, bbie, dd for Windows and ExtractNow, no luck.

Which linux kernel are they using? there’s been bad news on the 2.6.27 damaging intel netowrk cards.

i ran it on my 1000h, it runs quite nicely… no wifi though.

I would like to try this with the first Q1, any idea if it is supported, and how to create the image file. “DD” does not seem to work for me last time lost my system because of a mistake in entering the command “DD if=/” must be an easier way to make the image file?
