Does anyone have experience or a pointer to installing F13 on a
Samsung N220? Nice little computer, Atom cpu, 1 gig, 250 HD, realtek

Hi,
I could not find any reference to F13 on this netbook.
But there are some experiences about Linux in general with other distros:
http://blog.scaryclam.co.uk/2010/04/20/samsung-n220-netbook-and-linux/
and
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=94703
I hope it is of interest, otherwise please disregard.
JB

Why don't tell us what problems you're having
trying it yourself?

I installed CentOS on this netbook. I went to pendrivelinux, grabbed
the iso to USB tool, then created a bootable thumbdrive with the
CentOS boot iso. I then used the boot iso to install across the
network. The Fedora approach should work similarly.

Because he hasn't bought one yet and wants to know if he'll be wasting
his money?

well, I was trying to preempt problems by getting the benefit of
others' experience, THEN trying it myself.

no, I've bought one and am so far pretty happy with the Phoenix
Hyperspace Linux instant-on, with the battery lifetime (apparently an
honest 10 hrs.) and am able to not use Windows Seven Starter Edition,
a dreadful piece of shit.

Still, I have F13 on my workstation and it would be nice to have the
same environment on the road.

I used an analogous technique on the NC10 when it first came out (with
F11 if I remember right - and it worked fine. some differences were
that I initially made a copy of partedmagic on a bootable usbkey and
partitioned the drive using that before booting a usbkey set up for
the Fedora install - with one additional difference - on booting the
boot.iso from the usbkey I elected for a hard drive install and
referred to a copy of the DVD iso that I had also added to the usbkey
with the corresponding images directory also on the key. That way the
install did not need the network.

I am guessing that the method will be the same for the 220 and this
seems to be born out by the previous post.
