Hello Meego'ers. I just thought I would summarize my installation experience with Meego 1.2 on a HP Mini 110-3627. After some initial problems with paritioning, I was able to install Meego and have spent some time getting to know it. Interestingly, after installation I noticed that Meego had already initialized the Broadcom wireless card. I had intended to follow these instructions to install the Broadcom kernel modules, how ever this was not required. I had originally intended to retain the Windows boot loader, how ever after restoring it using these instructions, it doesnt seem as nice of a solution as just leaving the Meego loader.

Problems

• The HP Mini comes with Windows 7 Starter. The OOB partitioning scheme has four primary partitions: System, C, HP_Recovery and HP_Tools. I originally intended to shrink C by 20GB, how ever during the install I got the same error as noted in this thread. The only way to proceed was to create recovery media (using a USB drive), and then remove the HP_Recovery partition to reduce the primary partitions to 3. I was then able to set up the partitions in Meego and continue with the installation.
• When configuring my wireless card, I selected the static IP option, entered my details and was able to associated to my network. After connecting I noticed I had entered my routers DNS incorrectly. For some reason I was unable to disconnect from the wireless network, and was unable to save changes to the DNS entry. When I rebooted, it associated with the wireless network again and I was still unable to change the DNS entry. I had to remove the wireless network altogether, re-enter all of the details and reconnect. Since then I have had no problems with association on boot.

Thank yous
Macek and Zigbee for the community repository. I was able to install the codecs for Banshee, and the NTFS-3G support in seconds.
