The team of Ubuntu Netbook Remix has been thus kind to offer to the sviluppatori a Personal Package Archive (PPA) and, for means of this, our Remix can easy be installed on Hardy:

  1. To add the PPA to our source list (gedit /etc/apt/sources.list)

    deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/netbook-remix-team/ubuntu hardy main
    deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/netbook-remix-team/ubuntu hardy main

  2. update and then install

    I sudo apt-get update
    I sudo apt-get install go-home-applet human-netbook-theme maximus ume-launcher window-picker-applet

  3. At last to riavviare the system or simply gdm (I sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart).
