Acer Aspire etc that come with Linux

is it easy to wipe and install Windows?

why, want to run Tekin HW & BBK netscreen from one

any links?

I think to install windows you'll have to borrow some sort of USB dvd drive to get it on there - I tried other methods like bootable usb stick but that was too complex for my little brain.

yeah, you would need a USB DVD drive, and access to the bios. But a lot of the smaller Netbooks, might not have the space, storage wise. Some of the real cheap ones, got Windows CE, and that won't run .Net correctly.

PXE boot and then image it?

You'll obviously need to set up a VM on another machine running PXE, DHCP and WDS etc.

bloke at work did his ok, depends which model his was high spec one, i bought asus eepc 11inch screen and 9.5 hour battery, you can get em with mobile internet built in, if you not got one, y not get the windows version?
I got an external usb dvd from ebuyer for 20 quid

Carphone warehouse were knocking out the 20gb eeepc 9 inch on XP for under £150 a week ago, not sure if they still are, I have had the first 4gb 7 inch since easter before last, faultless so far 18 months on:thumbsup:

Yerr it's easily done, You got to either have a removable CD-bay or make a USB pen into a bootable device.
I put Windows 7 onto a USB pen being a bootable device and formatted off this, works awesome on the Aspire one :)
