Cut a short story long; I transferred the Image off the HP Mini using an SD card. Neither the SD card or the USB drive booted. The Unetbootin doesn't seem to be available for Linux and the windows version makes a windows disc, which doesn't help. So, to upgrade from Hardy to 9.10. At last my luck was in. When installling the upgrade, it offers parallel installation with my trusty(but out of date) 8.04. It is installing now. I should get the HP Mini changed tonight. BTW, the HP is an absolutely beutiful piece of kit. It iven has a brushed metal keyboard.

Hello Archie, I've got the HP Mini with Suse, but there is(obviously) no optical drive. How do you put 9.04 onto it?

It came with Suse but works much better with Kubuntu 9.04. £153 is an absolute bargain. Buy several and give them as Christmas presents.
