Array.org Netbook Repository for Ubuntu

Setup the Repository

1. Install Ubuntu v9.04. Make sure your Netbook can boot into Ubuntu without the aid of a USB Stick or external CD-ROM drive.
2. Setup the Array.org repository. This will add the following line to your APT Sources list.

   deb http://www.array.org/ubuntu jaunty main
   deb-src http://www.array.org/ubuntu jaunty main
   

   wget http://www.array.org/ubuntu/array-jaunty.list
   sudo mv -v array-jaunty.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
3. Install the Array.org repository public key.
   wget http://www.array.org/ubuntu/array-apt-key.asc
   sudo apt-key add array-apt-key.asc
4. Update your local apt cache
   sudo apt-get update

Download the Netbook Kernel

1. Install the Netbook kernel.
   sudo apt-get install linux-netbook

   OR

   Install the Netbook (EeePC) kernel.
   sudo apt-get install linux-netbook-eeepc
2. Reboot.

Uninstall the Generic Kernel (Optional)

1. To remove yourself from Ubuntu's generic kernel updates, run the command:
   sudo apt-get remove linux-generic linux-image-generic linux-restricted-modules-generic
   Note, this will keep the last generic kernel on your device, but any future updates to this generic kernel will be stopped. It's useful to keep this last generic kernel around just incase you encounter an unexpected problem with the netbook kernel need an "official ubuntu" kernel to fall back to.
2. (Not recommended) If you want to remove the last generic kernel as well, run the command:
   sudo apt-get remove linux-.*-generic
