Tried the standard Ubuntu Netbook Remix twice and each time I would reboot during the setup and I couldn't use it...as it was left with a desktop that showed me my mounted drives but nothing else was accessible. Relented and loaded HP's Mi/Ubuntu hybrid. Worked flawlessly, but I really didn't like the feel of it at all. Was looking for a way to make Ubuntu work and ran across your ISO this morning, loaded it to a USB stick, installed over HP Mi and it just works beautifully! Thank you!

That includes the official documentation. You have been a life saver to me on several occasions and I just had to drop by and say thank you.

That sounds no good... Beside, did you tried the Ubuntu or the netbook remix in your post? Presumably, you used the vanilla, then why dont try the remix one?

I just want to use it. <a href="http://www.slashgear.com/intel-moblin-v20-beta-for-netbooks-released-1944282/" rel="nofollow">According to SlashGear</a>, "Intel tell us that it’s only the HP Mini 1120NR which has problems with WiFi and Moblin v2.0; other netbooks they’ve tested it with (Acer Aspire One, ASUS Eee PC 901, 1000H, Dell Mini 9, MSI Wind, Lenovo S10, Samsung NC10, HP Mini 1010) have WiFi working fine. If you have a 1120NR, for the moment you’ll be stuck with wired networking only." That doesn't sound like fun.

It seems like a promising project. Have you thought about giving the new Moblin beta a shot? It seems like a promising project.
