Kubuntu on a 'mini' laptop
 

I am thinking of buying a 'mini' laptop - probably the MSI Wind. I'm sure that I can get it
without XP.
How do I install Kubuntu on it, and which one (is there a special one for 'mni' laptops)? Can I
'burn' the iso image to a thumb drive?
I don't want the added expense of a separate USB DVD drive.

Blessings,

Nigel

You can use Unetbootin [1] to put the ISO on a USB stick. It depends on
the target machine if you can boot from that USB stick for installation
but I suppose all new machines can be set in the BIOS to boot from USB.

Follow Nil's instructions for creating a bootable USB.

There is a special version of Ubuntu for the eeePC, with a kernel
tuned for the processor, the webcam and the touchpad. I expect it
would be trivial to install the kubuntu-desktop once you install
Ubbuntu-eee.

There are also Cannonical/Dell repos especially for the Dell Mini

I don't know if there is one compiled for the MSI Wind.

Does Ubuntu run on a 2.6.27 kernel yet ?
A lot of these mini Laptop, the wireless cards and webcams won't run out
of the box with less than a kernel 2.6.27,
that is why I switched my Asus 702 to Fedora 10 it has the kernel-2.6.27
to run a lot of these mini laptops

I'm running kubuntu intrepid on my asus 1000H and hardy ubuntu eee on a 701.
You need the customised kernels (Array.org) and scripts to fix some issues but
they eventually work nicely.
