Hi Ralph,

During the launch of Jaunty, Victor had a Rocket stick from Rogers.
And we had it working on both our Aspire One with the Jaunty Remix 9.04.
Victor loaded his Remix from a USB stick with the RocketStick installed, 
mine was loaded and I just plugged it in.
Not a single issue with it.

So you should have no problems.
