If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated. I recently purchased a barely used Dell Mini 9 from my brother. This mini came with an 8 gig solid state hard drive with Ubuntu installed. He attempted to "run some updates". Now the system boots up but other than surfing the web, nothing can be done as the system is "full". It also has some broken packages which I have been unable to repair.
I have been reading up on installing Ubuntu but everything indicates that the software must be installed off of a CD. This mini does not have a CD drive.
At this point I am at a total loss and am trying to determine if there is any hope of getting this mini up and running.
