installing on acer aspire one d250 problem

[obazsm]

trying to install ubuntu netbook on my acer using a usb flash drive, first i receive the error for the wireless, i need to install b43...
so i connect using a wire and try to install and get about 80 -90% complete and then gives an error for overheating on the cd drive??? i was able to install jolicloud, but would prefer ubuntu for more flexibility.

so get this, i downloaded the ubuntu 10.04 remix (netbook version) and loaded that on my usb drive and viola it loaded all the way, i am now udating the system through the update manager to 10.10 and then will install the b43 driver for the wireless card. i will keep you paosted. ubuntu may want to check their version of 10.10 on their site.

ps i did the bittorrent download for 10.04, i did not try it for 10.10

couldn't upgrade to 10.10, weird and frustrating any help is appreciated

PS on a good note i got the wireless working using the B43 driver.

i finally got 10.10 and here is how

i had to load 10.04 lts

after system was up and running i did the updates, (but i could't update to 10.10 through the update manager after several attempts see above)

so i then down loaded 10.0 netbook iso on the bittorent

then made a live usb using startup disk creator

and then rebooted with the usb and bam 10.10 netbook is on my acer!!!

hope this helps others!
