Just did a clean install on the Dell mini 9, wireless didn't work (simple fix). Something else came up from the disc utility that many netbooks are seeing, Disk Failure warnings and notifications. If you get that problem just re run the test. I read this was also a problem in the EEE family <div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Nov 1, 2009 at 7:08 PM, <<a href="mailto:r_a_smith3530@sbcglobal.net">r_a_smith3530@sbcglobal.net</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> I've never had great luck upgrading systems, either in Linux or that proprietary OS out of Redmond. Usually, a clean install works best. I just did a clean install of Karmic NBR onto my Eee 900 this afternoon, and all seems to have gone well.
