[lug] How to upgrade Ubuntu Netbook Remix

[Michael Hirsch]

Sounds like my hardware is better supported (Acer AspireOne 250, I
think).  I don't think I've ever had a crash, so no fsck for me. I had
some wireless trouble, but once I got a kernel upgrade my wireless has
worked pretty well.

Maybe I'll try again tonight.

Thanks,

Michael
