Consider using the normal Desktop Edition for your laptop, just a thought,

Subject: [Ubuntu-US-PA] Netbook remix boot conundrum
Hi All,
I'm VERY new to ubuntu (so new that I haven't actually been able to
use the OS yet), so any and all help is greatly appreciated.
I created a boot CD for Ubuntu 9.10 Netbook Remix, and installed it
onto my Lenovo S10 netbook last night. I then booted up the computer
for the first time after the installation, and can hear the HDD
spinning, but all I have is a black screen.
I tried booting from the (external) CD drive again, but since the
screen is black, I can't see any settings to change the boot order.
I did see that there was what I thought to be an identified bug on the
launchpad site that matched this issue, but I now understand that it
was for a different version of Ubuntu. I think the bug said something
about certain Intel graphics chips not being compatible, yet there was
a workaround or fix.
I'm kinda dead in the water here as it's my only PC (I'm sitting here
typing this email on my phone) and I can't really move forward. I'm
not necessarily set on this version of Ubuntu, so if there's a way to
install a version that wouldn't present this issue that would be
awesome.
Thanks to any and all,
Jake
