If it doesn’t have the 9400M GPU then its not any different to the other Samsungs…..
[/quote1251052847]
It should have the Nvidia 9400M though it may be restricted in hardware to DirectX 9. There may be some other restrictions as well… This is depending on whether it it the ION or ION LE platform.Although this doesn’t help with regards to the stuck screw, if all you want to do is remove the keyboard you only need to remove the screws marked “KBD”.
The two computers just need to be on the same network which it sounds like they already are, they do not need to be directly connected.
The memory card reader on the NC10 is designed to only work with SD, SDHC and MMC cards, along with other smaller types of these cards with the use of an adapter.
The card reader is not designed to wok with Sony Memory sticks, with or without an adapter.
If it is corrupted, even if you downloaded it directly you can use bittorrent to fix the parts of the file that are corrupt. Which should be a lot quicker than re-downloading the whole iso again.
I transferred the Mint cd iso onto a USB memory stick and ran it Live from there. I didn’t use pendrivelinux though so it acts just like a live cd where changes are not saved. I only used it to modify some partitions and install Mint onto the hard drive.
By the way, you may want to consider just using Ubuntu Wubi instead, there aren’t that many advantages to using Mint over Ubuntu.
As for the error, have you tried putting Mint onto the us memory stick a second time?
Also have you checked to make sure your download of Mint was not corrupt, you should be able to use bittorrent to fix it if it is?You may have noticed a code called an MD5 on the Mint download site, for Mint 7 it is:-
64e2a290fb51f8e7a9d058355fe93d0eIf you download some checksum software like FastSum (I’ve not used this software myself), you can then run it on the Mint iso file you downloaded. If it gives you the same MD5 as the one listed on Mint’s site then the download is good.
You should only need to delete the Fedora partitions and then create an NTFS formatted partition in their place. Though I’m not sure how the partitions are now setup as you gave Fedora 8GB.
From Windows try this:
1) Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management
2) From the tree select Disk ManagementFrom here you should be able to select the partitions Fedora created and delete them, once you have done that you should be able to create a new partition in the empty space an format it as NTFS.
You could use other software like Easus Partition Manager, or run something like gParted off a Linux live disk.
The standard ION does not need a DX10 capable OS, it will work fine in OS’s which do not have DX10. There may be some sort of restriction (licence) that stops Windows XP being sold with it though.
As for Carphone Warehouse, it doesn’t appear to be available to order.
“Please note: this product is out of stock and cannot be ordered at this time. Sorry.”There are two issues here:
1) Is to stop other people from accessing your computer, this means having a firewall (properly setup) and not enabling services like folder sharing. So that other people on the network cannot gain easy access to anything on your computer.
2) Is to stop man in the middle attacks where at some point between your computer and the remote computer/server there can be someone listening in. To protect against this you really just need to be sensible, such as making sure web pages where you send passwords and other sensitive information are encrypted and that you don’t send passwords in plain text. Other applications like email clients also need to be properly configured. However this issue is relevant wherever you access the internet from.
The question of public WiFi, is to assume that it is not secure, as anyone could be on the network sniffing the traffic.
Then again maybe I am just a bit paranoid.
[quote1250882038=W.alter]All German KA05 come with bluetooth. Samsung messed the type numbers really up if the same model number has different configuration in different countries.
I wonder what the NP-NC10-KB02DE/SEG is, though. It has exactly the same configuration as the KA05DE (bluetooth, 6 cell battery) and runs under the same model name, NC10-anyNet N270WBT.

Interesting, I hadn’t heard of NC10’s with KB in the code before.As for the model numbers seemingly being messed up, this is one of the reasons why I started this thread. To try and see if there are any patterns. It only really seems to be the numbers with no noticeable order so far.
[quote1250881041=W.alter]Strange, the Spanish NP-NC10-KA05ES has only “optional” bluetooth.[/quote1250881041]
Yeah it seems that in some countries the NC10 does not come with Bluetooth. I thought this was also the case in Germany though. Interesting that yours came with Bluetooth.I wouldn’t expect to see a performance hit, with the exception of suspending to disk (hibernation).
However I also wouldn’t expect there to be much in the way of a performance improvement if you are a light user.
The upgrade is cheap and may be useful for the occasional times where you want to have a lot of things open at the same time.

ThanksHmm I should really get around to editing those wiki pages.
If the netbook is producing a blue screen then the boot order is correct as it is booting from Windows on the hard drive. It is possible that a partial hard drive failure has occurred, though the more likely cause is that the partition has become corrupted.
You will need to run something to check the partitions and probably checking the hard drive would also be a good idea. The easist way to do this would be to use an external usb optical drive and boot from the Windows disk. I think you press “r” to access the recovery console and you can then run “chkdsk /r” to hopefully find and fix and issues.
What did you do before this problem occurred?
Did you resize or delete any partitions, or not shut down the computer properly.I haven’t seen anyone post it yet, but there is quite an interesting article on ArsTechnica regarding the Nvidia Ion and Samsung N510, with regards to it’s price.
