Installing Ubuntu 9.10 Netbook Remix (Asus Eee 1000HE)

After installing Karmic in my desktop and laptop, its time for my Asus Eee 1000HE.

The eee don’t have an optical drive, so we need to install it using an usb drive.

I will keep the dual booting with Windows XP and Ubuntu. The Eee is my only Windows machine right now.

Download and “Burn” a USB Drive

Go to Ubuntu Netbook Remix Download Page and download Ubuntu.
Check the downloaded file hash. The output must be the same as you see in the Ubuntu Hashes Page.

1md5sum ubuntu-9.10-netbook-remix-i386.img

Create a bootable usb drive from the downloaded image. I used the USB Startup Disk Creator (System > Administration > USB Startup Disk Creator) in my karmic desktop.

Install from usb

It’s easy. Boot from the usb drive (check the BIOS) and install like any other Ubuntu release.

Installing Ubuntu 9.04 Netbook Remix (Asus Eee 1000HE)

I have a new Asus Eee 1000HE. It came with Windows XP, but I want to try out Ubuntu Netbook Remix.

The eee don’t have an optical drive, so we need to install it using an usb drive.

The goal is dual booting Windows XP and Ubuntu. I want Eee to become my main Windows machine; this will allow me to format my Desktop machine to have only have Ubuntu (next release with default ext4 filesystem). I use Windows only to sync my iPod Touch so, this is a great solution.

Last week I bought a new Asus Eee 1000HE. Who can resist a 10% off the price? :-)

The main feature in this new netbook is, of course, the 9.5 hours of battery life. Amazing!

It came with Windows XP. The next thing was installing Linux. I chose Ubuntu 9.04 Netbook Remix.

Here’s some pics I’ve manage to take with my phone.
