[ale] Ubuntu Netbook Remix

[Richard Bronosky]

I don't know if the problem is Win7, but I just partitioned an Asus
EeePC using the UNR ISO applied to a thumb drive via UNetBootin in the
XP install it came with. I didn't accept the default install option. I
manually partitioned the drive to give XP the first 30G. The OEM
recovery partition occupied the last 5G and I left it alone. I gave
UNR the rest of the middle of the 160G drive. Works like a charm. I
just wonder if I should have gave it a swap partition.
