...netbook without an optical drive.? i guess what i'm trying to say is i have a dell mini 9 and i installed ubuntu netbook remix on it, in order to get all my drivers and dell apps working to do this i need an external optical drive. can i rip the dvd and and put it on my flash drive and then install it off the usb drive?
thanks
 
I don't know what DVD you're referring to, but MagicIso can create an iso file (a literal copy of a CD, not just the contents) and it can also emulate optical drives, so you could use said iso, you might try that.
 
You sure can. Just drag and drop all of the contents of the cd onto the flash drive, plug it into your net book, double click on the .exe file and your done. Good luck!
