[App_rpt-users] Install onto a netbook via usb stick

[Ian Venable]

I have successfully installed onto both of my Dell Inspiron Netbooks model
1018, 1.66 Ghz processor, 2 GB of ram, and a 250 GB SATA II hard drive
which I changed out for a 16 GB Solid State Hard Drive. Via a $12.00
external USB CD drive. I gave up on the USB stick method. No hang ups to
report, installs went smooth.
