I use an external CD/DVD drive through USB connection. I am stuck at formatting stage.

[manojchandra]

managed to format in FAT32 using a web programme.
while installing on hard drive, when I use “create custom layout”, I get the following message when I select the device /dev/sda3 type vfat size 73729-” You have not defined a root parttion(/), which is required for installation of fedora to continue. You have not created a boot partition.” message

Any suggestions?

One thing I needed to do in my install was to download FAT32FORMAT (http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Hard-Disk-Utils/FAT32format.shtml) to format my data partition to FAT32 as XP will only let me format partitions larger than a certain size to NTFS.

I downloaded this, but when I click on the exe file, nothing happens apart from a black screen for a transient second. I stopped my avast utility, but that did not help. Anything wrong I am doing?

My Hard disc is now divided into c and d. C is left for windows. Ubuntu was in in D, but is now uninstalled.

Thanks. Will try.

is there a resource to DIY memory upgrade at home for NC20? thanks

[manojchandra]

Thanks. I have stopped.

tried again as below- source https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NC20#openchrome_debian

* Firstly get the required build tools

sudo apt-get install build-essential subversion autoconf automake1.9 libtool

* Next you need to get the build dependencies

sudo apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-video-openchrome

* Get the driver’s sourcecode

svn checkout http://svn.openchrome.org/svn/trunk openchrome

* Change into the newly created directory

cd openchrome

Ok until this step. I typed cd openchrome

After that screen says

mishra@ubuntu:~/openchrome$

It is stuck there. What do I type in next

[manojchandra]

went through the following

* Firstly get the required build tools

sudo apt-get install build-essential subversion autoconf automake1.9 libtool

* Next you need to get the build dependencies

sudo apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-video-openchrome

* Get the driver’s sourcecode

svn checkout http://svn.openchrome.org/svn/trunk openchrome

* Change into the newly created directory

cd openchrome

After this screen says

mishra@ubuntu:~/openchrome$

Then I did this

* Run autogen to set up the driver build

./autogen.sh –prefix=/usr

After a series of screens

config.status:executing libtools commands
then again

mishra@ubuntu:~/openchrome$

after that, I did
* Compile openChrome

make

* Install openChrome

sudo make install

After a long many screens, I get

make (2): Nothing to be done for “install-data-am”.
many other lines ending with

make(1): Leaving directory “/home/mishra/openchrome”
finally back to

mishra@ubuntu:~/openchrome$

I think I am giving up now. Obviously it is a lot more demanding than my capability.

Thanks Alfihar.
answers to your questions
standard Ubuntu 9.04 desktop edition
I had installed it by booting from the Ubuntu disk
and now everytime I start netbook, I get an option and then have to choose ubuntu. everything seems to go well and then screen goes fuzzy.
I did try as you suggested, connecting netbook to router thru cable.

Will update when next able to do it again. Many thanks again.

[manojchandra]

did this
sudo apt-get install build-essential subversion autoconf automake1.9 libtool

after a while it is now stuck at
* Starting anac(h)ronistic cron anacron
