Hi Aditya,you could use UME 8.04 which has both wifi , usb and touch screen support.I have tested it and its better than the midinux which comes with the device.
I suppose you are trying to*develop the moblin application for the contest.
I'm preparing a tutorial for setting up the dev env using the UME 8.04 and creating the image with help og image creator(i have compiled the image using it on my aigo ).I'll send it across this tomo.
Also below mentioned sites would be of more use to you.http://www.owendia.com/forum/aigo-p8860-mid/ubuntu-8-04/
http://midwiki.com
Cheers,hitech

Hi,
Found myself.
If it is of any help, I booted using the latest 8.10 image, it booted to the
main flash screen. No support for the touchscreen, or even an external USB
mouse for that matter. So i couldnt' go far.
Any chance of it being supported in future?
Regards
Aditya Vishwakarma

Hello everyone,
Been subscribed to the list for awhile now, am interested primarily in just
running UNR on an old machine as a sort of under-powered test. *I was
wondering if anyone would be willing to point me in the right direction as
to how to create a bootable CD out of the thumbdrive IMG file that I've
downloaded. *Mounting loopback here is not actually going to help as the
tricky bit is actually writing the boot sector with the magic numbers to get
the thing to boot.
I'm not asking to hold my hand, but some pointers here would really help.
Regards,
Patrick

I'm not sure how to create an ISO image from it, but it is very easy to
copy this to a USB memory stick and make it bootable. *Just type "dd
bs=1024 if=jaunty-netbook-remix-i386.img of=/dev/<usb device>" (where
<usb device> is sda, sdb, etc - do not write it to any partition, use
the full device).
The img file is a vfat (fat32) image with a bootsector to load syslinux.
To make an ISO, you would first need to run mkisofs to make an ISO image
file, then mount both the ISO and the img file in loop and copy all of
the data over. *Then, make sure that isolinux is on the new ISO image.
I don't know the exact steps for that, but a 2G USB drive costs $10-$15
and is much faster and easier.

*External USB mouse should be supported; the touchscreen has no chance

Weird, I thought the change was made to Ubiquity's desktop file so it
appeared in favourites too (I've seen it there before). I'll check
today's image and file a bug if that change has been reverted.

I believe there is a bug already filed about this duplicity. I think it
makes sense and I'll try and get it in this week.

I'm working on a report of my own as well, with a few additional issues so
far.

There are potentially two issues here:

I agree that the dialog is not beautiful. *I've not filed a bug for this,
but if you want to:

It does look a little strange. *I haven't filed a bug about it.
