[SLUG] netbook distro installation hell

2009-08-23 Thread Michael Kidd
Hello All.  A novice, I have tried yet another flavour of Linux to dual
boot, but I lack the ability [even with Googling] to make any of them work
on my eee1000H, the latest being Ubuntu Remix, and now I don't even have
Windoze.  I am fed up, I clearly lack the necessary intelligence, and ready
to give it away, but I am willing to give it one last shot, and pay someone
to install a working Linux OS for me if it is not too expensive. [including
the 'My3 Mobile Broadband USB'].  All I want is a working netbook.  If
anyone is able and willing, I am on the northern beaches but willing to
travel.  Many Kind Thanks in advance. [I hope!]   I apologize if this
posting causes a problem.  

Jim.  jkr...@hotmail.com

If you come to the next SLUG meeting (this friday), I would be happy
to help you out (I don't expect anything in return) and i'm sure many
other people would be happy to help you out too :)
