Try out without installing (initramfs)

[telmore007]

I downloded ubuntu netbook remix and made into bootable usb. Dell mini 9 with xp on it right now. I get to black screen. Loading, please wait... BusyBox...(initramfs). I do not know enough for commands. Why is it not loading the user face part?

I also downbload the verison that's 10BMS. Don't get how to install that little over head, but I like figuring stuff out :).

If your at a Command line try xstart and see if you get a desktop

xstart I get "/bin/sh: start: not found"
(initramfs)

I don't know the netbook distros so not sure of the commands

Someone will

;)But you may have to check the image on your USB if it won't live boot
Good luck!

The command you are looking for is "startx"

If you would like help with getting the mini 9 up and running please refer to these links :)
