Did something change in the install process? I remember before being asked for my Allstar login info, and picking which server I wanted to download, I also remember being asked what I wanted the root password to be. Both of these installs went with no problems, and it rebooted after it was all done, and it is displaying test login: _ Ian Ki6ies On Wed, Dec 5, 2012 at 6:11 PM, Jim Duuuude <telesistant@hotmail.com> wrote:
I totally agree that what you did is clearly the sensible and expedient way of accomplishing the task. I really dont have much guilt expecting people to have or use such a thing.
However, I also acknowledge that it would be *nice*, certainly not necessary, but *nice* to have the USB install as an option. I do not know how to accomplish it at this time, and I have no intention of spending the time to find out. However, if someone *could* figure this out and "contribute" their wisdom (in the form of an installable package, not just a list of perhaps vague instructions), it would be of great benefit to everyone (at least potentially).

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.

It could be that the install program does not recognize the Netbook’s Ethernet adapter. People in that situation have used a USB Ethernet adapter to get started and then, afterwards, you install the driver needed and switch back to the built-in NIC.****

Hello all! Well I am learning linux as we go, and can navigate my way around it pretty good now. My question is has anyone installed the acid.iso onto a netbook (no cdrom drive) yet? I am trying to install onto a Dell Inspiron mini 10, it has a 1.66 Ghz processor, 2 GB of ram, and a 16 GB Solid State Hard Drive. I have downloaded and installed the acid.iso file from the allstar website. I can get the install menu to come up, but I keep getting "error unable to download kickstart file". Anyone else tried doing this yet? The labtop is seeing the usb stick as /dev/sdb1, and I can see the files on there, just not sure where to point it to, to continue the install.****
