Hi,
I have to test Pre-released Netbook with Ubuntu Netbook Remix (9.04), Now it’s known as Ubuntu Netbook Edition, that’s different story. So in hurry i started my download in Firefox. It was fine for me. But suddenly my friend called me to go for 3 Idiots, So i opened www.bookmyshow.com to book the ticket, but found very slow speed due to UNR download. So i stopped it, booked ticket for 3 idiots, Bingo!!!
But, i have to also resume my old UNR download. Opps!!! When i pressed “Resume” button on Firefox Download Manager, It has thrown some error, i was not bothered about it, because it’s common for me. But this time i was more excited about to solve that problem. Just got the access of /bin/bash in mood of some hacking / shacking 
.
Here is my code snap shot”

I hope you would have got my so called “Hack / Shack”. That was so straight, not more then 10 seconds 
. Anybody can test it for me, if we restart the machine? Are we able to start the download with same hack? Next lesson for you…
Now, time for 3 Idiots

Canonical and Dell delivered Ubuntu Moblin Remix Developer Edition on Dell Mini 10v and that was announced during the IDF (Intel Developer Forum).
I just got Dell Mini 10v a day before. I just downloaded the UMR (Ubuntu Moblin Remix) image from dell download section. Burn it on USB. Boot Dell Mini 10v with USB, and installation will start. This is Developer Edition so don’t expect that everything will work. Installation will erase all you previous data if you are trying on your existing machine. Dell is first OEM who ships pre-installed UMR (Ubuntu Moblin Remix). More information is available here about Installation.
Here is screen shots of UMR direct from Dell Mini 10v. Of-course i have just completed this post from UMR
UMR Installation from USB
UMR :: My Space
UMR :: Applications
UMR :: Zones
UMR :: Media
Happy Dewali to all...
