Does anyone have experience or a pointer to installing F13 on a Samsung N220? Nice little computer, Atom cpu, 1 gig, 250 HD, realtek wifi.

Hi, I could not find any reference to F13 on this netbook. But there are some experiences about Linux in general with other distros: http://blog.scaryclam.co.uk/2010/04/20/samsung-n220-netbook-and-linux/ and http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=94703 I hope it is of interest, otherwise please disregard.

I installed CentOS on this netbook. I went to pendrivelinux, grabbed the iso to USB tool, then created a bootable thumbdrive with the CentOS boot iso. I then used the boot iso to install across the network. The Fedora approach should work similarly.

Why don't tell us what problems you're having trying it yourself?
Because he hasn't bought one yet and wants to know if he'll be wasting his money?

well, I was trying to preempt problems by getting the benefit of others' experience, THEN trying it myself.

no, I've bought one and am so far pretty happy with the Phoenix Hyperspace Linux instant-on, with the battery lifetime (apparently an honest 10 hrs.) and am able to not use Windows Seven Starter Edition, a dreadful piece of shit.
Still, I have F13 on my workstation and it would be nice to have the same environment on the road.

Excellent! Thank you very much.

I used an analogous technique on the NC10 when it first came out (with F11 if I remember right - and it worked fine. some differences were that I initially made a copy of partedmagic on a bootable usbkey and partitioned the drive using that before booting a usbkey set up for the Fedora install - with one additional difference - on booting the boot.iso from the usbkey I elected for a hard drive install and referred to a copy of the DVD iso that I had also added to the usbkey with the corresponding images directory also on the key. That way the install did not need the network.
I am guessing that the method will be the same for the 220 and this seems to be born out by the previous post.
