If anyone has MIE, use Acronis to make an image of the computer. Then install Windows 7 or any other OS. Then if you ever want to revert back to MIE, just use Acronis. Also you can post the image somewhere and share with others (just a suggestion).

Could we merge these two threads?
(this one and the following one: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=390 )

Again, has anyone tried to clone the recovery partition onto a USB and boot from it? Or even just clone it to a .img file? Not that I condone such a thing, but sharing that on a torrent site would be uber useful.

Hey all!

So I figured out how to do this.. (it's how I got MIE onto my XP equipped Mini).

First, go get Ubuntu Netbook Remix and install it on something so that you can boot to it on your Mini.
Second add these sources to your sources.list (/etc/apt/sources.list OR System -> Administration -> System Sources)

deb http://hpmini.archive.canonical.com/mie/ hardy main universe multiverse restricted
deb-src http://hpmini.archive.canonical.com/mie/ hardy main universe multiverse restricted

deb http://hpmini.archive.canonical.com/mie/ hardy-updates main universe multiverse restricted
deb-src http://hpmini.archive.canonical.com/mie/ hardy-updates main universe multiverse restricted

deb http://hpmini.archive.canonical.com/mie/ hardy-security main universe multiverse restricted
deb-src http://hpmini.archive.canonical.com/mie/ hardy-security main universe multiverse restricted

deb http://hpmini.archive.canonical.com/mie/ hardy-hpmini main universe multiverse restricted
deb-src http://hpmini.archive.canonical.com/mie/ hardy-hpmini main universe multiverse restricted


Then you're going to open Synaptic (run gksu synaptic in the terminal OR go to System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager)
search for a tool called liveusb-creator. You'll find it. Mark it for installation and the version you'll get is the special HP one. with it you can DOWNLOAD a FULL MIE image. This is meant for "recovery" purposes, but It works perfect for installing MIE.

You didn't hear it from me. If you have any more questions I'd be more than glad to help.

I get some errors when I load the HP sources into an Ubuntu VMware image I have running as follows:

timm.mccoy thanks a lot!

here are links for images of remix:
img: _http://oem-images.canonical.com/unr/unr-1.0.1.img
iso: _http://oem-images.canonical.com/unr/unr-1.0.1.iso

I installed UNR from DVD, now trying to make MIE.
Than I download liveusb-creator & it made bootable recovery usb drive.

But... I disapointed... Standard Ubuntu has much more functions than it... I think I'll get back my Ubuntu.

I can do a video of how to download the HP restore image if that's what you mean. Instructions on how to install Ubuntu Netbook Remix can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UNR My little tutorial here should be able to guide you through the rest but if you need more detailed instructions feel free to email me: timm(dot)mccoy(at)gmail(dot)com

I'll see what I can do. Time is always a consideration, and being a college student I don't have a lot of it that's free. All the same if i have some free time this week I'll put something. Feel free to e-mail me if anyone wants more detailed instructions.

I've managed to get the img loaded onto a USB stick, if I boot off that can I install it and keep my Windows partition or will it wipe the whole disk?

regards,

greg
