Ictually here you can find link to Dell recovery media (on original page position [1] is a link for iso.
Read this disclamer.


But I think you can use Ubuntu original iso from www.ubuntu.com and try it first of all as live-cd and then install if you want.

I doubt that will work - it isn't for the Mini 9.

 

And the Mini 9 uses a customized version of Ubuntu Net Remix.

 

There is such a thing - a disc image for the mini 9 - but I'm not aware of Dell making it available for download.  If they do, I'd like to get a copy.

Hi,

As I can find Ubuntu Net Remix is not a distr but some additional files to change original Ubuntu installation for new look and feel.

Thanks for the link, that is helpful.

 

We are still going to have a problem though - Dell's version of Ubuntu Netbook remix is going to be different the standard one.  The standard one that is available at the link you have provided will not have the extra drivers that we need.
