I found what I think was the Dell distro here at http://linux.dell.com/files/ubuntu/karmic/iso-images/. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out how to install from an ISO.
Instead, I just went the Ubuntu.com route.
- Download from Ubuntu.com
- Burn ISO to CD (using this Freeware: http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm)
- Boot CD on a PC.
- Select "install to USB Drive" option.
- Boot from USB Drive on Dell Mini 9.
- Install (Erase and use entire disk.)
- Setup.
- Download and install updates.
- Install Flash (sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree).
- Watch The Daily Show with Jon Stewart on Hulu.com.
Yay! Video isn't choppy!
note: I had installed the full Ubuntu 9.10 before I saw there was a Netbook Remix (UNR) version. I installed UNR at home; it seemed to install faster (probably because there are some big apps excluded). Had to consult ubuntumini.com to get the wireless network radio up and running.
