To install Ubuntu 9.04 for Dell, first download ubuntu-9.04-dell-reinstall.isofrom the Dell linux base camp: http://linux.dell.com. The size is about 1.8 GB. From the date point of view, Dell released Ubuntu 9.04 in 9.04, And the Canonical official release was just a few days later. In this case, the cooperation between Dell and Canonical is quite close.

I want to bring Ubuntu 9.04 to my mini 9. However, writing ISO to a USB flash drive is another problem. After all, Dell's mini series (Mini 9, Mini 10, Mini 12) do not have optical drives.

Another laptop of mine uses Windows Vista and has UltraISO 9 installed. Use it. If you are interested in writing ISO to a USB flash drive in Linux, study it on your own.

First, run ultraiso.exe as the administrator ID, and then select "File"-"Open ". Open the downloaded ISO file. Directly write to the USB flash drive. Since ISO only has 1.8 GB, it is enough to insert a 2 gb usb flash drive.

After writing the ISO file, unplug the USB flash drive and insert it to mini 9. press 0 to start the USB flash drive (select USB Storage from the menu ).

After the USB flash drive is started, the screen prompts:

Start booting from USB device...
